OP I objected to the BBC World service using the phrase "keep across the latest economic indicators" in a programme trail, as I know not the term "keep across".
They claim "While this is very much a conversational and colloquial turn of phrase it is a common one and its meaning is clear in the context in which it is used"
What do those here think?
Apologies if I have transgressed any local norms. My first post here.
Cheers
