|

I heard from my students that the Prime Minister has passed a new law changing the spelling of the country from Turkey to T�rkiye and that it should be used in all corrospondence . Does any think that this is a good idea ? Comments graciously accepted as I for one don't . |

Should be �Does any fink...� in time-honoured working-class (and proud of it) fashion. |

Looks like the new law has ben accepted.
Turks are not rioting.
The only one who is revolting is big bad you-know-who. |

That is upsetting as I expected much more noble resolutions form someone like you. Mine are:
to continue to name and shame the TEFL exploiters in Turkey and to stand up for the poor TEFLers at the chalkface. |

OK, some creepy-crawly resolutions -
1 Join a dog-rescue team, rescuing (as one may imagine) mistreated dogs
2 Pretend to be a caring sharing teacher and help my students, instead of laughing at their mistakes
Can�t think of any more. |
