The Macmillan Dictionary blog

I enjoy dipping into this blogsite from time to time. It's full of current debates about English language , quirky stories and examples of odd uses (or misuses) of English. It's a treasure-trove of examples that will show your wider reading and a general interest in the subject. Let me know about an item you've found interesting! Use the Macmillan Dictionary link on this page and then, to keep things simple, just follow the 'Live English' link - these stories and examples will connect more closely with our current work on the way English useage varies with people, context and locality. 'Love English' can be explored later when we are looking for examples of recent language change and also historic background of words.
