You might have heard that the University of Nottingham plans to suspend all languages courses. This is very disappointing and heartbreaking.

Introducing my new project… Your Wrong (yourwrong.co.uk). It’s all about the language rules and judgements that appear in different forms of popular culture. Films, series, podcasts, music, books, even graffiti!

I’d love your help to find examples!

The University of Nottingham is suspending all Modern Languages degrees. A short-sighted and terrifying decision from a 'global' university.

Please sign the petition started by its wonderful students.
