@Mark_J_Perry @rkylesmith @TuckerCarlson Most of these aren’t ‘errors’ but debatable issues of style and I can’t see any ‘grammatical mistakes’. What is the point of this anyway?

Just read reviews on a paper that a colleague has received back. Why are some reviewers so outrageously rude (you publish as well presumably, would you like to see comments like that on your own work?) and why do editors pass on comments like that back to authors unmediated?

Very sad to hear of Ron Carter’s death. Ron’s contribution to English as a subject at all levels was immense and he was the kindest and most generous man. I feel very lucky to have been taught by Ron and will always be grateful for all the advice, guidance and support he gave me.
