Cartoon time
Apologies for the lack of posts recently; we've all been terribly busy. In the absence of a well written and humorous post, I hope you will enjoy these grammar-based cartoons.
From savagechickens.com.
I think this is from xkcd but I'm willing to be proven wrong. I agree wholeheartedly with the premise. I mean I agree with the use of "they" as a third person, singular, gender free pronoun as opposed to the global bicuriosity. Although there's something about Russell Crowe in Gladiator that... never mind.
I found this on a recruitment site but I don't know the true origins.
I hope you all had a good Easter. Do please keep sending in your photos and queries; we'll try to get around to them in due course.

The comic with the dinosaurs is actually from http://www.qwantz.com/
Hi Gez, When I saw the dinosaurs, it was on xkcd: http://xkcd.com/145/. It's called "Parody Week: Dinosaur Comics" so I'm thinking it's a parody of qwantz.com.
