Thanks to Ben Jones for alerting me to David Crystal’s recent talk. Like you, I have many of his books on my shelf and find his insights into language, especially the English language, sage.

  1. Thanks so much for alerting me to this video by David Crystal. I will encourage the future teachers in my courses to listen to it. It was interesting to know that the supposed paragraph that had circulated in “textese” was a hoax. I wish David had mentioned where it originated. I’m quite curious.
