<r>I hate to be pedantic <cough>. But as we are being pedantic: "us" is an extremely common way for companies to refer to themselves. A quick straw poll finds the term used in this sense by the likes of HMRC, Barclays, Amazon, BBC, Ryanair etc etc. So no, I don't see the problem. See for ...

<t>As a charity they can subsist entirely on donations AFAIK. Of course the problem is the tools maligning the project by crying "scam". Sadly, they are not bright enough to understand that if this was in fact the case, it would be the most convoluted, public and rubbish sting since a cha...

<t>iPads are passive, consumer items -- just watch the latest ads (or teenagers swanning about the corridors of schools with them under their arms using them as a "chat up line"). And they do not enhance learning any more than interactive whiteboards have ever done in my experience. Raspi...
