Stephen Fry on language, by Coach on Aug 17, 2010 0:22:28 GMT 1, For Fry fans, a beautifully written essay on the development of language, and the idiocy of pedants who decry lowering standards and change.

Relevence here? Apart from being a bloody good read, there is a (imo) funny Banksy reference towards the end.

Thank you george. I think the Banksy reference at the end will make you smile. The whole essay is just so sumptiuosly written though.

Stephen Fry on language, by Passion Art on Aug 18, 2010 1:31:14 GMT 1, It's clear that he's an incredibly intelligent guy but is no one else annoyed at the fact that he always uses three or four adjectives or adverbs in a row to describe the same thing? It's as if he wants to show all the words he knows.
