Grateful for the friends I've made through deadlines, pings and shared grammar gripes. Appreciating those who make even the busiest days feel lighter. #InternationalFriendshipDay

Word of the day: sundreesoro (n.) The disappointment felt after waking up from a pleasant dream and realizing it was only a dream. #WordOfTheDay
A lot will be said about the Queen today, but just thank you feels appropriate.

So very sad. The Chartered Institute of Linguists received its Royal Charter from HM Queen Elizabeth II in 2005, for which linguists and lovers of languages around the world will always be grateful.
