I continue to subscribe to The Age newspaper, despite the scoffing of my mates, but particularly so that my wife and I can share the solving of the daily crossword* (not the Cryptic) in an endeavour to preserve our ageing memories. (* And also for the Good Food, Green Guide and Good Weekend liftouts!)
Whether you agree or not with the Age Editorial policies and expressions thereof it has always maintained excellent standards of journalism and great standards of language and grammar.
That’s why I was disgusted, in an article about a singer to see the last line of the article, I reproduce below. What have we come to when a young woman uses language like that and our newspapers report it? Somewhat approvingly I may add.
Harrumph! (Being a snort of disgust.)
