One reviewer's comment for Elizabeth Evans and me was 'The word 'whilst' is used throughout the paper but it is long outdated'. I've been using it as much as possible since, and Liz gives me brownie points each time I do.

'Not even I could publish this research in a decent journal' - professor after interviewing me for a job

'Could you use 'differently abled' or 'special' instead of 'disabled'' - 🤨
