Hmm. What really is proper English nowadays? Is it the language spoken in England? If so, which part of England? Is it the language spoken by the most people, across the greatest area? If yes, then it must surely be that spoken in the USA.

I do hope everyone has a jolly enjoyable 2005.
But let’s just cast a thought to those in South Asia at the moment who are starting the new year with nothing, or, in many cases, considerably less than nothing. My thoughts are with you.
I want to echo what Google wrote on their blog about this truly horrific disaster that has affected millions of people:
