Wow, and I thought that I wrote long winded, rambling blog entries! I’ve got a lot of respect for Stephen Fry. As well as thoroughly enjoying his comedy and drama acting, I love QI, the nerdy quiz show he now hosts. Most importantly, I learnt from him, the pointlessness of trying to hold onto a concept such as “the Queen’s English”. He pointed out on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, that language had always evolved. Therefore there is nothing to be gained by trying to fix some arbitrary social group, with a point in time, from which to declare that this is the “correct” way to speak the English language.
