POP GOES THE WEASEL - M.J.ARLIDGE



This author is new to me. Based on this story I'd have trouble reading another one. Her language is often stilted and she dips into her thesaurus too much. On top of that she has, like Shakespeare, invented a word. That word is ok. I presume it is pronounced och but I could be wrong. She uses it in the context of  'are you ok?' Hang on, it might be that she couldn't be bothered using the perfectly good word 'okay', or even 'O.K.'   I'm sorry, M.J. but ok is not a word. Looking at your CV and the work you have lined up, you need to avoid English colloquialisms and have your stuff edited by someone better than you use now.
