I have to admit I have been seeking out more and more opportunities to get out in the car lately. Journeys to work, a drive to the supermarket, a nostalgia trip to… well, anywhere. Not that I’m much of a driver, nor that I enjoy it. I generally don’t. But now that I’ve downloaded an audiobook copy – read by the author himself – of David Crystal’s Making Sense: The Glamorous Story of English Grammar, there’s not an A, B, or C road you won’t find me on with the great Prof’s dulcet tones as a travelling companion! I think I’m on my fourth listen and entering overdraft to pay for the fuel. As with most of Crystal’s work, as the title suggests, it just makes sense. [More to follow when I can find pull into a layby].
