A bit of fun with linguistics, grammar, words and bad spelling Добро пожаловать к нашим русским читателям

On RTE Radio 1’s Drivetime yesterday there was a discussion on language and accents.

Dr Mairead Moriarty, a senior lecturer at UL, said on the programme: “Children are particularly unique when it comes to language.”

The word ‘unique' seems to be a stumbling block, in this case, even for a linguistic expert.

And then the above picture from a parish newsletter. Parishioners may have trouble finding the 'altar of response'. Then again, if they ‘followid’ the right person they might get lucky.

Yesterday this blog had its highest number of readers in Russia in its 22 years of publication. 

Вчера у этого блога было самое большое количество читателей в России за 22 года его существования.
