Not because we want to split hairs (or infinitives) but because how we use words reveals so much about the way we see the world.\u003cbr\u003eHere John takes a sharp look at phrases and expressions in current use to expose the often hidden attitudes that lie behind them - from the schoolroom to the boardroom, from Westminster to the weather forecast.
