Hi everyone,

Food for thought!

Below is an email I've just sent to Judy and Judy.  I'd love your comments.

 Enjoy life,
Patricia


Dear Judy and Judy,

After having watched your great video on how to mark writing for five points 
I have a query for Judy Kramer.  At one point in the video she mentions that 
a student used the connector "Second" instead of "Secondly".    It is true 
that American English uses the latter; however British English prefers the 
former.   See  http://www.reading.org/styleguide/alpha_stu.html and 
http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic6409.html   In light of the 
differences on both sides of the Atlantic would it be possible for markers 
to be allowed to accept both forms?
Many thanks, Patricia
