Hurrah for the singular "they"!

Alas, the pun isn't quite original: it featured in an episode of My Word! and in one of the tie-in books.

Still fantastic though...

People who insist that language is a popularity contest probably do more harm than good to the cause of useful changes like singular They. Everybody who writes like that should go fuck themselves.

There's more discussion of that singular 'they' article at my lj.

What's the pun in the bee article?

Actually, this is the finest pun in the history of mankind. Although it also only makes sense to Brits.
