 Re: word stress
I would not put too much reliance upon any government department or quango to get it right. They always assume that they are right if only because they are there!! If they really were so expert there would not be any need for anyone else to bother.
I bet they've never heard of Fowler.
It raises a curious point - just who do they teach? Wherever I have been around the world I have never heard the name mentioned, in relation to teaching English, but they always crop up around business and economics discussions which is where I would expect them to be. |
