Academics outraged at Welsh expert’s scandalising listVenerable Welsh language authorities were horrified on Thursday to discover that Gareth King’s latest book will not be using the only correct second person pronoun, chwi, and that his list of 300 essential verbs does not contain their particular personal favourites.
“It’s a disgrace,” said professor emeritus Outrage ap Outrageyface. “I am completely horrified and outraged.”

The title and subtitle for the new book will be
DOING WELSH
Snapshots of Essential Verbs in Action
and projected publication date is December - hopefully just in time for the Festival of Precious and Exciting Gifts that traditionally occurs towards the end of that auspicious month. This is barring hitches, of course - but the complete PDF files they now have are pretty clean and clear, so croesi bysedd for an uncomplicated production process now.
Our monitoring systems have already detected increased activity in Language Police and Usual Suspects circles, with sniping protocols made ready and panic sirens sounded. All of this is of course good news for our side. We shall prevail. Byddwn yn gorchfygu.

While I am (still!) waiting for the Doing Welsh proofs to arrive for me to check, I have started revising Colloquial Welsh for a third edition some time next year. Can anyone see why this particular page is having to be butchered/mangled?

As a lapsed journalist married to a recovering journalist, that’s brutal. Brutal, but fair.
