Rose, I definitely agree with the 'Haitch' peeve which is prevalent in Australia, particularly by Newsreaders who think that they are displaying a great command of the Queen's English. |

Sir John Cheek (1514-1557) was an English classical scholar who wrote: 'I am of this opinion that our own tung should be written cleane, unmixt and unmangeled with borrowing of other tunges; wherein if we take not heed by tiim, ever borrowing and never paying, she shall be fain to keep her house as bankrupt'. |

When I hear the word 'heist', I always imagine the Queen ordering someone to 'heist their trousers up' |

I am actually fed up with the stupid idiots who get some sort of pleasure out of concocting fake news. As we have been so used to reading information on line which until fairly recently has been accurate and able to be believed it is no wonder that people, intelligent people, automatically do what they have alwaydps done and believe it and share it. |

We will never run short of lies to tell. Truth is one thing for which there is no known alternative. |
