/// If you think connexion is spelt incorrectly, use a dictionary. ///
I didn't say it was spelt incorrectly, just pointing out the correct word now more widely used.
/// Connexion is an archaic variant of the noun we now spell connection. (Similarly, reflexion, inflexion, etc. are now most often spelled with the -ction ending.) It was fairly common in British English until the late 20th century, but today the spelling has faded out of use except in a few proper nouns (usually company names) and special uses. Many if not most speakers of British English would regard it as strange or incorrect, and most usage guides advise against it. ///

ANOTHEOLDGIT you got it wrong so you're backtracking. Chambers Dictionary thinks it's fine and no mention of it being archaic but since you keep on harping on about the good old days I'd have thought you'd be happy about its use
By the way since you have a dictionary at hand, look up "non" and "none" to see the difference in meanings.

In physiology, wrt limb joints, it is still flexion, as the opposite of extension. Because 'flex', for bend, is still in common usage, that one probably won't mutate.
Also in physiology, in order to "stage" a photo, first they'd have to murder the dead boy so Katie is effectively accusing someone, or several someones, of murder.
Based on a photo (and/or video clip).
In depth investigation there.
Didn't Bin Liner claim that 9/11 was organised by him? Why concoct stories of photo fakery to try and change that, after the event?
Any fakery should at least have pointed the finger at Iraqis, not Saudis, surely?

I think what katie meant was that the photo was staged not the bleeding death! A small dead boy is found -the Police could have covered the body immediately and put the little soul on a stretcher where he lay, Instead they get a hefty policeman to gently lift the body uncovered, in full view of cameras and carry it up the beach. Is this normal Police protocol? Where were the CSI? yes this could have been staged.not saying it was but I can see where Ms Hopkins is coming from on this one.
