The Turner Ink blog contains rants, bloopers, observations and opinions. It also has handy tips on grammar and punctuation such as colons: semicolons; and full stops. As well as some very useful ‘how tos’. Feel free to leave comments. Be nice though.

Dec
by Sarah Turner

I loathe business bull and jargonese. And it seems the readers of the Daily Telegraph feel exactly the same way if recent correspondence with the broadsheet is anything to go by.

Added bonus
Co-worker
First up
Giving 110%
Going forward
Heads up
Hearts and minds
Hit the ground running
Inclusive
Ramp up
Time challenged
Singing from the same hymn sheet
