		<description><![CDATA[I was obviously disappointed not to see a single dangling modifier in any of the winning entries for the Golden Bull Awards this week. There were some fantastic examples of bad writing, no doubt about it. But even so, I think the much under publicised – except by the Daily Telegraph – awards misfired on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a strenuous week. After writing about Frank Luntz I began to feel paranoid about distorted messages and not being able to understand the words anymore.

But I’m not alone, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course I never trusted them after the window incident, but that is just a personal thing, and I hope I’m big enough not to let my personal experiences affect my judgement irrationally.
It’s just that I can’t square it. Either they were wrong, in which case they shouldn’t be teachers. Or they lied, in which [...]]]></description>
