If you really want this job, I'd suggest you take it. 'I'm unsure about our future' is a direct translation of 'you will do until someone better comes along, but I'll keep you on for now and I don't want a scene.' When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Absolutely best joke, amongst scores of other brilliant jokes, from Milton Jones last night:
If you Google 'lost medieval servant boy', it comes up with 'this page cannot be found'.

Greetings, fellow punctuation enthusiasts, on

Private Eye magazine cover, 57 years ago. As relevant today as they were then. (This one was my late mother's favourite!)

I just read a headline that illustrates the need for proofreaders and copy editors. It said:
'Kevin Costner wins ugly child support battle'.
(And because I know I'm going to be asked this question, it should read 'Kevin Costner wins ugly battle over child support'.)

They still are in my world, and I don't allow the phrase 'train station' in any book I'm correcting that's written in UK English.
I'm old enough to remember when 'train stations' were called 'railway stations'.

Really?!? I'm not a writer but a proofreader. Over 50 - actually over 60 - over 65 in fact. Don't categorise us!!!!!!
This grant is for writers over 50. Look at the image.

I've always been Team Diana. They tormented her, and she was a very naive, unworldy 19-year-old. Then when she started to learn how to fight back, and make her place in the world, they called her neurotic.

That's what immediately sprang to my mind, and probably to many others'. A sixth-former in a debating society should have been ashamed of that behaviour, let alone a Member of Parliament.

Ellie said she feels as though she's 'won' MAFS. Maybe she should take a closer look at exactly what she's won. A man who lies, chats up a woman on the sly while sleeping with his current woman, then blames her for it, and verbally abuses her in public. What a prize!

Your copy editor is right. I corrected this recently in the work of an American client, and she assured me that the former phrase has now passed into American common parlance, so is acceptable. Annoying, because it doesn't mean anything.

I love 'ghost signs'. Here are a couple from my little town. Makes me wonder what the streets and shops looked like in those days. I doubt there'd be a market for 'gowns and millinery' these days!

Me a few winters ago, shaming Morrisons. A little while later, after I'd written to them about it and they didn't do anything to correct it, I went in there with my felt-tip pen and crossed out the offending 's'.

No - asymptomatic means you have that you have a particular disease/illness but show no symptoms. A friend of mine had stomach cancer, but was asymptomatic.

The Telegraph supplement advocates messy, undone hair as the latest trend. All the women in the photos are famous beauties in their heyday. If l leave my hair as it is when I get up I look as if I live in a tree. I once got followed round Boots by a security guard when I did so.

It's absolutely extraordinary. I am horrified. Anyone who's ever been 14 years old knows that we think all sorts of stupid nonsense at that age, none of which we'd like to be held accountable for 20 years later!

Our dad, 8 years ago today. I am glad that I used to take random photos of him doing everyday things, because we all miss him so much and it's nice to see him again.

Good luck, Janey, you have a lot of friends you've never met, who wish you all the best.

OTD 11 years ago, our dad in Ieper (Ypres). He and Mum used to go there every year, and after Mum had to go into a care home because of her Alzheimer's, I went with him for the next 5 years. This is one of my favourite photos of him. I'm so glad I took it!

My favourite typo - from this week's proofreading:
' Doctor to patient in fertility program: "You may wish to consider freezing your seamen for the future".'
