I've known a couple who did exactly that.


Me too. Also a single girl I know did the same thing.

You'd think the local youths would get onto it and advertise their services.

Come on, you know as well as I do that these girls get pregnant in

Only some.

One of my carers works with young girls who are often put into that
group. She tells me she has never met a girl who got pregnant to get
a flat.

Be fair, maybe she couldn't speak the languages of the pregnant
girls who get off the plane looking for child benefit and housing?

The offending sentence was, "After finishing the rough draft, I
moved on to the exercise proper."

You got marked down for writing that?

The media tutor in question was a former BBC researcher.

About what I'd expect for someone working for the BBC.

IMHO "Proper" would only be wrong in that sentence if it had
been used as an abbreviation of "properly", it isn't.

My protestations fell on deaf ears.

Lets not bring the disabled religious into this
