Your Letters

Am I the only person 'annoyed' by the tendency of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ news 'website' to put 'everything' in 'inverted commas', whether warranted or not? The latest egregious 'example' is the headline . It sort of implies that he didn't actually have a funeral, when I think you'll find that's exactly what occurred.

It was interesting to read that the model railway market in Germany is six times larger than in the UK (re 10 Things). I bet they always run on time, as well.

Re Anna Smajdor's opinion in viewing the (and no, I wouldn't watch it myself). My Scottish granny always refers to "nature raw in tooth and claw" rather than "Nature red in tooth and claw". Sounds much more appropriate.

Re Gus from London's pluralisation of Metropolis to Metropoli, I'd like to mention that the word means "mother city" (from the Hellenic tendency to form new colonies overseas, then reminisce about their old home town). If you're going to correct people on the use of metropolis, you should really use the proper plural - metropoleis. Metropoli would be a Latin plural...
Sarah, London
On the Steve Irwin video article, the poll clearly suggest that more people would watch the video than would not, yet all but one of the comments posted are against the release of the video.
Henry Hayes, London, England
Surely the definition of a metropolis is "City where Superman lives," in which case I don't think any cities in the UK qualify. Unless of course Ken Livingstone has powers that we don't yet know about.
Andrew, Nottingham, UK
Does anyone recall the stories about the and other such confectionary 'to save lives'? Well, the reason for the departures turns out to have made space for some new delights - the Duo. That's right, TWO Mars bars in one packet, weighing even more than a King size used to.

PLUS, THOUGHTS ABOUT THE NEW-STYLE MONITOR
Oh dear MM, this is rather nice. Yes, yes. Very nice.
Jennifer
Loving the makeover, MM - you look 10 years younger.
Blackwood
Liking the new outfit MM!
Andy
Argh! First the local supermarket rearranges everything "for my convenience" and then you go do the same.
Clare
Have to hand it to you MM, the new look is great. One trusts that you have rewarded yourself with the appropriate number of requisite pastry-based treats for a job well done.
DS
I've been away for a month building hospices in Lesotho, can someone tell me what happened to the Monitor?!
Kate
I'm afraid the new look of The Monitor is about as visually appealing as a summons sent by Telex.
Kieran Boyle
I would call the Magazine's new colour "Teal" because that's what it is. Why not have a vote on it?

It's Monday and frankly I'm slightly disturbed by the new Monitor. It used to be all homely like porridge, now it looks all sleek and clinical like a multi-vitamin tablet. (Look how it's forced me into stretched analogies) At least the Express is still consistent with its Diana cover story.
James
It's all well and good for the new look, however it's now very annoying that everything is squashed to the left side of my screen (I'm using Firefox). The right-hand side form is straight down the middle. Aaa the wonders of Frames and content management systems!
NickW
Please can we have our Monitor back?
R J Tysoe
I checked your new corporate colour against my Martha Stewart color swatches. It's "psittacosic teal".
Chris
Yay! A URL I can make a homepage without having to change it weekly.
Ed Loach
Not bad, found my favourites easily and like the easier access to the blogs. However the Letters section is a bit odd with 'Your Letters' boldly printed above each letter. Is the '•' at the start of some letters a comment on the content or sadly just an HTML coding error?
Jeremy Stevenson
I don't like it.
Dan
I take it back. I do like it.
