        Actually not an English major, I just found myself in a situation where I was teaching and it lasted much longer than I anticipated.

        Yes, language changes, sometimes not for the better. For me, the difference between countable and uncountable nouns is sacred! ��

        I'm from a very working class area of London and basically am as common as muck. "Fer" is actually quite mild! ��

        Constant change is here to stay!

          < means less than.
          < 10
          is translated to:
          less than 10.
