Although ‘learning’ is a noun it can’t be pluralised. There is that other grammatical curiosity the ‘Liberal Democrat Government’ – it exists in neither singular nor plural form.

The witty riposte, Trevor? It really took you ten days to come up with that? Called a full meeting of all LibDems in Wycombe and gave the text a serious grilling and intensive questioning did you?

Hi Lesley
always happy to take comment, apply the learnings and move forward
Lets park grammar for moment and focus on the delivery

Steve underwent a serious grilling from before he was accepted. He came through with flying colours and 10/10 in areas important to the residents of Wycombe

In comparison our Conservatives in the area are failing to deliver in many of the areas important to residents of the Town and can only be given a 4/10 when it comes to services to the community.

—–afraid when it comes to Financials the Conservative sums dont add up to a positive experience for local residents

Cheers
Trevor

It would have been quite improper if my wife had chaired the hustings – which is why she didn’t!

Intensive selection and questioning? Sure helps if your missus is in the chair.

Someone to keep Charlie K company in the smokers’ huddle outside the Houses of Parliament if either of them get elected.

I would have thought that Calamity Clarke had better things to do than come on here just to knock the grammar!

Proof reading up to usual Lib Dem standards, Trevor. Just how do you add your congratulations to someone? You might congratulate someone, you might add your congratulations to those of others. The first person singular pronoun is always capitalised. There is no such word as hes in the English language and you should use a hyphen between conservative and driven unless you intend the two terms to be separate in which case separate them with a comma. Conservative, if you intend it to refer to the political party, should be capitalised. Strength really means the same as fortitude, so tautology there. 4/10 for grammar and punctuation, a fail at GCSE, even for a Geordie.
