SOAS is rescuing languages.
Well done.
At the same time The Times has come up with possibly the 10 most irritating phrases in the English language right now. These include: 'To be honest', 'with all due respect', 'I hear what you are saying' and 'at the end of the day'. My boss continues to 'hear what I'm saying', every goddam day, so I can vouch for the fact that it is mind-numbingly annoying. Am working on weaning the boyfriend off 'basically' and 'literally' as well.
But is it going to be worth it?
