small print

I spend enough time wandering about the internet at work - and enough of that time rummaging through Wikipedia, following my own inclination through interminable links. But was it common knowledge that Wikipedia 'English' is written in 'simple English'?

As opposed to 'difficult English'? 'The Queen's English'? Jargon? Business-speak?

Would anyone notice if it were in some other English?

What if it were poetry?

If it were poetry it would be a tiny bit more interesting. Perhaps.

I've nominated you for a brilliante premio weblog award as I like your blog.
