Words are wonderful. Language is colourful, expressive, a delight to hear.
Which is why some things really grate on the ear.
I enjoy watching 'Only Connect' but then one week there was a question about the position of chess pieces on the board - and they spelt 'knight' with an N.
'Pointless', that tea-time favourite, had a chemistry question and I have to ask, when did they begin spelling 'sulphur' with an F?
I have kind of got used to railway station being train station, but then on the radio a presenter was talking about 'plane rides'.
Isn't that a 'flight'?
Or am I an old stick-in-the-mud?
