    Don't know if this is the right forum................

    I'm trying to find an article, somebody (I think in North America) criticised how a journalist was using English, said he was bastartdising the language.

    The journalist answered with an article about the English language and how it was the biggest bastard of them all.

    Any body know where I can track it down?

    Thanks

    mmm,

    found a comma that was sliced and diced, 3 divorced infinitives, a repetitious redundancy and some pronouns that couldn`t agree.

    But no article.
