My goodness look how our language is derived. Here are a few sentences from the start of a speech on 'common Law' that jumped into my IN box. Whether or not it is true, partly true, or fantasy it makes me think of word origins. I've just been sent a copy of this video by the Gary Fraughen entitled 'Common Law.' Which is so refreshing to hear someone who walks their talk, who doesn't have a...
