Education and linguistics

[John Williams]

Dear Dick,
Thanks very much for the message.
I've just read your article in my copy of 'Journal of Linguistics' which
arrived this morning! It's a great article.  Thanks for putting it together.
I notice you submitted the article and then the editors wanted some
revisions.  I'd be interested to know what the editors wanted you to change.

'Eats Shoots and Leaves'  - have you encountered Simon Jenkins' article from
the Times a few months ago? Excellent view from a journalist and
non-linguist.  If you've not seen it, I'll send you a copy.
Thanks once again.
Keep in touch,
John
