I think I'm full of baked beans, and tiredness.

If you want me to vent about how much I dislike "The Prelude" by William Wordsworth (but in a educational way teaching you the context) then today is your day! www.wrightenglish.com/blog/gag-ata...

Flippin, bloody, sodding, mountain fearing weirdo.

If you have ever had the misfortune of reading "Prelude" (stealing a boat) by William Wordsworth, this might make sense to you: www.wrightenglish.com/blog/wtfw-pr...

Also, my condolences. I share your pain.

When you directly translate advertising, stuff gets...weird. www.wrightenglish.com/blog/bb-lang...
Not thinking about cultural differences can lead you to name your drink after liquidated people - an interesting advertising strategy!

Revising for your GCSEs or A-Levels? You have my sympathies, and the GCSE and A-Level Goblin has got your back with free resources for improving your 19th-century English. He also lives in hell and has to chew bricks twice a year, so give him a break: www.wrightenglish.com/blog/gag-pun...

I don't think an AI body assistant would be a great idea for people like me...

A certain list of autistic people being made by politicians left me stunned. This was the most cheerful thing I could come up with.

Do you get strangely committed to things just because you started them? There's an English phrase for that!

Learn a great British idiom for why you must organise all the books by colour before you leave the library...

I do my best, it's just that sometimes my best is being asleep, or in a ball on the sofa. Sometimes my best is adding gigantic, detailed tutorials to my website for free. It's a bit like Roulette. I want Krispy Kreme.

I've never felt the need to be explicit about my ethical policies in my business before. Given the recent surge in hate going on around the world (esp. USA) I felt uncomfortable without saying that everyone (within reason) is welcome. What are your thoughts? Have I just agreed to buy a hovercraft?

It's preposition time, so get your cartoon cats ready for Gateway to Grammar: www.wrightenglish.com/blog/gtg-bef....

Welcome to the least erotic article on the internet about sex www.wrightenglish.com/blog/vs-sex where we look at synonyms for the word sex. Why? Because Wright English prepares you for real life and I am too stupid to stay out of controversy.
