The Chief #commercial officer of #IBM was just on #cnbc talking about “IT spend.” Is it really too much effort to add an “ing” and use the correct #gerund form? Maybe standard #English #usage is no longer a core skill in #businessschool

I've always loved the Molesworth books. And which of us didn't have our first experience of a gerund thanks to Ronald Searle?
