I also spent many years devising and delivering courses for adults. I still love teaching although these days it’s on a much more informal level. I've done a lot of writing over the years, mainly curriculum and technical stuff, and I've developed a reputation for being able to deliver material in a way which is both easy to read and easy to understand. I’m also known as a bit of a pedant with a concern for detail and facts. While friends can find this a little excessive, even annoying, my attention to detail does make me a good proofreader and editor. It also puts me in a good position to produce a little book about such a ubiquitous grammatical error as the apostrophe.view less
