The other day I ambled along to Evensong at my church of choice in Oxford. The church in question switches about between which liturgy it uses for services, based on a logic I have yet to understand. A week or so ago I managed to find something I could never have imagined would be allowed to happen:
I hit the Common Worship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Worship) version of Evensong. Quite apart from the fact that I repeatedly got all the words wrong, because I was still stuck in a BCP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Common_Prayer) time-warp, it's just not a patch on the proper words.
Stupid bloody linguistically bankrupt service, it was an abomination in the sight of the Lord. I reckon.
