All right, own up! WHO WAS IT who started pronouncing the L in 'almond' and the T in 'often'? Can we stop it now, please?

Can we get this clear? 'Less than 10 items' is perfectly correct grammatically. It means 'a number less than 10'. 'Fewer' works as well but it is not 'better' than 'less'. 'Less items' would be wrong, of course (like 'less people' which you often hear).

So then, Ofsted unveils its “new” inspection framework today. Two and a half years after Ruth Perry’s death, and what is the result? A monumental failure of leadership from successive Secretaries of State, the DfE and Ofsted. The old framework… with a new coat of paint…

A British ambassador to the US is British ambassador not a US ambassador ffs!!!

For heaven's sake The Independent, do you have no subeditors? This piece has 'breaks' for 'brakes', 'donut' for 'doughnut', 'cemented' for lord knows what, 'bathroom' for 'toilet' and 'airplane' for 'aeroplane'. independent.co.uk/travel/inspira…

This will be great - go see if you can!
