Suggest everyone who has grumpinesses to complain of join the grumpies or
(GOCs) on linked-in. That way we can collect all their little pearls of
wisdom into said book.
Anyone who needs an invitation, ask one of the grumpies

Hi Jenni,
Ill put my hand up too. I am amazed at the common use of loose instead of
lose. I am thinking that the 's' crept in to collectively describe different
types of communication. Perhaps ASC should develop a science communication
style guide - we could call it 'The Grumpy Style Guide'.
cheers
Marina

I'm on that old and cranky team, too Jenni! Though I confess sometimes I
give up when I see that fiendish 's' <shrug>
Cheers,

Is there anyone except me who gets annoyed by the use of the word
"communicationS" - i.e. communication with an S on the end?
As my colleague, Wendy Parsons, pointed out when I was working at CSIRO
almost 18 years ago. this use of the word generally relates to cables, wires
and similar infrastructure.
Perhaps, I am just getting old and cranky?
