Language can be wonderful, strange and also baffling!

If you are a poor speller this might not help matters but it did make me laugh!

Don't forget, the caffeine inside is beige.

If you are ever struggling though, that's why a spellchecker should be your new best friend this term.

Anyway, have a look at this mug...

I'm not sure why, or even IF they still teach this actually! It wasn't yesterday that I left primary school after all... I have a mug in my office, bought for me by a student, and it says 'I am silently correcting your grammar!' It gets lots of admiring glances as colleagues come to use the photocopier (which is next to my desk).
