After opting to take the Sunday Herald yesterday, I was delighted to find a restaurant review chiding an upmarket eatery for foreign language spelling abuse (You Gimme Hope, Joanna).

This is a double-pronged sin. The restaurant, in their smattered employment of French, have been deliberately abstruse so as to seem better, nay classier, than they really are, and then managed to do that wrongly. This brings to mind broadsheet columnists and their incongruous deployment of Latin phrases.

Malmaison, with your ‘Wow-factor suites’ and ambiguous invite for us to ‘Eat, drink and sleep it’, welcome to The List.
