Well that was splendid. I just caught most of a Melvyn Bragg documentary on the ITV about the origin of standardised English, which was co-incidentally what I was chatting to Nicholas about yesterday. I believe I called him a "Norman stooge" for wanting to retain standardised spellings and abbreviations in text messages and instant messages. Mr. Bragg backed me up; Henry V it was. All TV should be like that programme, and just think - on a commercial station! Now I shall play Time Crisis.
