Write for English: the first texts

Further to last week's post about the Write for English competition, here are some of the first texts for you to respond to.

Ed West from The Telegraph on 'Jafaican'

Dr. Bernard Lamb on slipping standards of English

Charles Moore on the problems with language change

David Higgerson on words that journalists should stop using

If you're thinking of entering our Write For English competition, then have a read of these articles and see what you make of them. We're after a 750-1000 response, in whatever form you like, to one of these texts and we'll be posting some more links in the next week or two.
