Lynne Truss
Lynne Truss is the author of Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door and The Lynne Truss Treasury. Eats, Shoots & Leaves, for which she won Britain's Book of the Year Award, has sold more than three million copies worldwide. Truss is a regular host on 大象传媒 Radio 4, a Times columnist, and the author of numerous radio comedy dramas.
Her Inheritance Track choices were: : 'It might as well rain until September', and : 'I'm still standing'.
Interesting to hear that one of the chosen tracks was "I'm still standing". It is good to know that "standing" still exists as everyone now appears to use "I was stood" - whether or not they come from the North. The same is true of "sitting" which has given way to "I was sat". I even heard Ms Truss use "I was sat" on a Radio 4 broadcase a couple of months ago.
Complain about this postThis has probably been spotted by lots of your listeners'. but, did you notice Lynne Truss useing, "My mother, sister and I", instead of "My mother,sister and me",in her Inhertance Track ? If any of my grammar is suspect, I apologise. Like Lynne Truss, but can't resist picking her up on such a common mistake.
