Welcome to the latest instalment of English in Progress, the newsletter that keeps you updated on the English language. Fresh in your inbox once a month. My name is Heddwen Newton. I am a translator and English teacher. I love discovering all the ways English is spoken; the ways in which it is used by different generations and by people from all over the world. (And parrots.)
Thanks for mentioning the Strong Language blog! Ben Zimmer writes the Tucker Awards post, but he's not the blog's sole author; it's very much a group project. I’ve been a Strong Language contributor for nine years.
Hi Heddwen - maybe that disruptive toddler is truly your superpower, your special sauce, your X factor, as your newsletter is the bee's knees, the giraffe's eyelashes, the cat's jimjams. Every issue is a riot of fresh leads, great articles, and sharp-eyed trendspotting. A big thankyou on behalf of all the word nerds and language lovers out there, David
