  Interesting: To me, 'voice calls' contrasts with 'texts' as a function of mobile phone use, rather than video calls.

Anglocreep is a word for the gentle drift of British English terms into the US English vernacular -
- Ant Heald on 14 Oct 12
  
  I think it's widely assumed that there is one-way traffic, with 'Americanism' coming into British English, so it's interesting to note that it cuts both ways.

Language is clearly being affected in different ways by advances in technology
- Ant Heald on 14 Oct 12
  
  This is a useful demonstration of how, for ENGB3 as a synoptic unit, links between AS social contexts from ENGB1 (such as technology) and the ENGB3 language change topic can be very productive.

The Guardian has been running some really useful material for ENGA2 recently
- Ant Heald on 21 Oct 12
  
  Also useful, of course for ENGB1 (gender), ENGB2 & ENGB4 (style models for original writing & media text - where language is a focus - and possible data/ideas for inverstigation), and ENGB3 - changing language use in representation of gender.
