Right... after a massive delay... the blog is BACK!
And we kick off this year with a competition. Merits available for the first three people to contact me with the correct answer to this question:
--
The word 'Shroff' is unique to Hong Kong and a few other nearby places. What does it mean, and what is the story of its origin?
--
Why do I ask? Well, for two reasons. #1 - every time I tell a class to do some 'research', for some reason this word gets magically transformed in everyone's minds and the class seem to think I said do some 'googling'. Guess what - Google won't help you on this one!!!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha! #2 - it's a fascinating example of why we should never just assume that there is one 'correct' form of the English language.
Good luck!
