´óÏó´«Ã½

Interesting juxtaposition of programmes whilst flicking through last night. On ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two "Lock them up or let them out" whilst on ITV 3 "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here". Perhaps the parole board could be expanded to decide whether or not the "celebrities" should be in the community at large, and we could vote for whether or not the prisoners get released. Can Monitorians think of names for such programatical juxtaposition.

My dear Paper Monitor, regarding the apostrophe in Philip's, don't you think perchance that the Indie's wall-chart of the night sky might be sponsored by being the company that produces maps etc, and does a rather nice line in 'Star Wheels' for finding your way about the aforementioned night sky, rather than the Dutch electronics giant. Hmm, PM does show female qualities with this misunderstanding.

Paper Monitor: It's a fair cop

Since this seems to be a grammatical nitpicking week on PM, can I point out to in his letter yesterday, Neil Golightly that the plural of formula is formulae not formulas?

Re James' point that font is an Americanism, when I looked up "fount" in the OED (computer version) it called it a "variant spelling of font." So I doubt the Americanism is original.

Re bumper stickers tailored to suit a newspaper's readership, the Eastern Daily Press might offer "Tractors Don't Have Bumpers". (I've decided to start putting Aylsham instead of Norwich because it sounds more up-market. More county you know.)

Daily Mail: 'If you can't read this, you're probably an illegal immigrant'.

I wouldn't be surprised if today's excellent bumper sticker suggestions end up being quoted by Jeremy Clarkson when Top Gear returns.

I've had a very dull lunchtime. So to make the most of it I've created a car sticker for fellow readers of the Magazine. Naturally it goes without saying that under no circumstances should anyone be sadder than me and actually put it up in their car. That would mean *none* of us had any moral high ground.
