		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Has Tom lost his spherical glass playthings?&#8221;, I hear you say. Not at all. The rather lovely and fun title &#8216;Crash Blossoms&#8217; is, in fact, the term now used for headlines in newspapers, magazines and journals that just don&#8217;t read quite right. The term itself comes from an American editor based in Japan, one Mike [...]]]></description>

Hello all, remember me? The one who glibly assured you that I&#8217;d be posting more this year? Well, I have been better, but time slips by, and well, you know&#8230;
The charming Daphne Wayne-Bough has obviously noted that this blog has been emptier than the manifesto of the British National Party, and has provided me with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I am in the habit of doing, I found myself in an idle moment the other day musing upon why the Scottish football team (that would be &#8217;soccer&#8217; to my American readers) Glasgow Celtic is pronounced with a soft c (an &#8217;s&#8217;, in effect) rather than following the usual convention of the hard &#8216;c&#8217; [...]]]></description>

Nothing specific this time around, word fans. More a collection of bits that have blipped on my radar recently.

The idea for this post comes from my curiosity about why the name Dalziel is pronounced &#8216;Dee-ell&#8217; in English. [...]]]></description>
