Your Letters

16:10 UK time, Wednesday, 4 January 2012

The P739 form (Paper Monitor) hasn't said "Sorry, you were out" for quite some time (well, certainly round here). It now says "We've got something for you". Presumably because neither was I out nor were they sorry.
Basil Long, Nottingham

I don't think I'm particularly talented in the field of pronounciation, but I have no trouble at all pronouncing the word "sixths" correctly. Neither do my friends. If "hardly anybody" pronounced it correctly as Andy Hill (Friday letters) asserts, it wouldn't be so noticeable (and VERY annoying) when it happens.
Sharon Cutworth, King's Lynn

Dr Reece Walker PhD (Monday's letters): A bit pedantic, I know, but should it not be: Dr Reese Walker or Reese Walker PhD? Tautology, pleonasm or too many toots on the horn? I'll get me Fowler's.
Vivien R, TMR Canada

What a non story!
It has long been possible to get between Canada and the USA without a passport - in 2008 I (a UK passport holder) travelled from the US into Canada (with my US children) - the children held only "US Citizenship Certificates". Passports were not required.
Duh. Story should have read "Technology dispenses with hand held passports".

Henri, Sidcup

Shiz (Monday's letters) - the first verse is "For the sake of auld..." It's only the chorus that is "For auld..."
Angus, Stranraer
