No; they shouldn't have used a proofreader or a spellchecker; they should have been taught proper English at school.

I mean the memorial plaque. Then at least the date of the pandemic is more or less correct.

It's not even needed to know that the language is English.

Can the English English? Nov 13, 2022

Maybe no one cares (apart from us translators, of course).

Key workers risked their lives and were applauded, as if applause can make up for risking your life and working 18hrs a day because your colleagues are dying and wearing bin bags and makeshift masks because the hospital doesn't have enough PPE. They all deserve a huge bonus and probably their salaries should be doubled. This is true in the UK and France and probably a lot of other places. I'm absolutely sickened that nothing has been done to thank these people. A tree doesn't cut it. ▲ Collapse

Swindon only exists because it was built as a train servicing town when Brunel built the Great Western Railway from London to Bristol (which at one time was the fastest way from London to America; the railway connected with fast steamships - also designed by the enterprising Brunel).

So Swindon has the shallowest of shallow cultural roots. They hardly go back any distance in time at all. Imagine living in Swindon.
