Here’s a case that justifies the above post. Wirral Council does itself no favours by asking me (or other editors, presumably) to publish material from such a scrappy press release as this. As far as I can find, a proper version isn’t even posted on the council’s website.

Not only that, you have to read to the fourth paragraph before you realise that they are restricting the use of the term ‘assistive technology’ to mean ‘telecare’ - one of the reasons I started the terminology campaign.
