Comma Overboard
I was under the impression that Anzac Day is more keenly observed than ever, but this tweet today from Martin Place in Sydney suggests the public is growing bored of the whole thing:
"Kylie Simmonds @Kylie_Simmonds Close
People stopping taking time to look at wreaths . Lest we forget @ABCNews24 #ANZAC2012 #AnzacDay2012"
Or possibly a comma is needed between stopping and taking time?

"Use proper grammar". Not a very familiar phrase in Canberra, more's the pity.
