Do you by any chance mean The Queen's English.

If you're going to advocate for it please try to use it.

Parents, you must be joking, the last 3/4 generations do not speak the queens english.
You can hear them in stores, both on the till and shoppers.

Our education system is crap/ along with the parents in mega numbers

That video still makes me chuckle.

He doesn't want people profiting from his art, like you say Stooo, I think it's about the conversation of his art subject rather than the art itself which is often easily removed or destroyed.

The same with the Tube train Banksy Tube graffiti: Cleaners 'unaware it was by artist'. Art doesn't have to permanent I guess, it's sometimes about the discussion after :dunno:

Ah that’s why they’re poignant. I like art that tells you something about the artist.

There was a programme on last night that told of the British-Mexican artist Leonora Carrington. Her work is amazing. Surrealist.

What is the point? Medical and legal terms are generally translated to plain English and the Germans have kicked it out of their official terminology.

Good old regressive UK, speaking Latin makes you sound like a pretentious twat because you are.

As are those who like to use the words politics, arrest, mandate, legislate and taxis. The sciences use latin due to its inability for misinformation and fake news to become the narrative in fields where errors are fatal. As the past year (three c.) and a half has clearly demonstrated how linguistic acumen, or lack of makes despots and terrorists.

You might want to consider altering your avi there Stooo...
