Welcome to Teacher Cindy's Blog!

This blog is for my students at Bleiker High School in Asker, Norway. Here I will post things I think you may find interesting. Sometimes they are related to what we are learning about in class. Other times they have to do with English as a language and as a subject. Please jump in and be part of the conversation!

Stephen Fry on Language and Pedants

Stephen Fry is a British actor, author, and comedian. Here he talks about language and pedants. Pedants are people who insist that everyone should do things in the way they believe is the right way. Because Stephen Fry is very smart and speaks with an upper-class accent, many people believe he is a language pedant. But he is not. What do you think of what he has to say?
