That'll teach me to rein it in.
In fact, before I go any further....Isn't ''That'll learn yer'' one of the worst going? I heard Lord Sugar baby use it recently. I appreciate he's the bookie's favourite to use it but it's still a sackable offence. Having just typed 'further'....for you purists out there, do you know, for sure, the difference between 'Further' and 'Farther' other than the first vowel? Well, do yer?
Yeah, right. Pah! '
Further' is related to time and 'Farther' physical distance.
Link no 1: Further your career.
Linkety Link no 2: Far away.
I've got an even better one which I absolutely adore. Judgement or Judgment? I touched on it a few months ago but will go in to more detail. Nearly all professional writers spell it 'Judgment', i.e 'Judgment Day' in the King James Bible from 1611. It actually derives from the Old French word 'Jugement'. Us Angles slipped a D in as we struggle to pronounce the French lingo. The OED and Chambers have 'Judgement' as the favoured variant. Sometimes, behind only half-educated can be costly. I love it.
