At work we have recently started engaging with social media more actively, but one thing this new task has brought up is the issue of grammar. Social media has a grammar all of its own but the challenge was around how much you hold the hand of the average fifty something listener.
On the run up to a new series of Top Gear the more hardcore fans loitering on the Final Gear forums start to get a little bit strange, suffering from withdrawal and desperation. OK we’re not THAT bad, we do know it’s only a TV show but there are also only so many times you can watch the same shows over and over and over again.
Not long ago in my first Top Gear series 15 preview post I included a video of some very embarrassing parents shouting about Top Gear as they passed the presenter in their car on the motorway.

Normally we’ll watch a little TV, go on the computer, read, play games, make [...]
