Plain speaking

Thursday 05 July 2012 by RA Jameson

Here is a test for your readers. Read aloud, without pause, the full names of the following (all taken from a single edition of the Gazette): LDP, ABS, SDT, RTA, ABI, APIL, CLS, ADR, CBA, CFA, COLP, COFA, ALS, MoJ, LSB, CQS and SRA. Of course, as a profession we are so much better these days at using plain English.

Aren’t we?

RA Jameson, Jameson & Hill, Hertford
