Your Letters
Jeff (Monday's letters), you do realize this is a British site - I'm pretty sure most of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's readership thinks you have an accent - not just those of us from Boston. Just because your accent was popular for a few decades among newscasters for having fewer distinctive features doesn't mean you don't have one. Anyone not from the Midwest can clearly hear how nasal many of you speak. And I'd never heard anyone say "jif" before for "gif".

"It doesn't look like the face of a tyrant." What was he expecting? Bald head, facial scar, and white cat on his lap? If tyrants were easy to spot, we wouldn't have had any!

The Magazine yesterday took the momentous step of referring to "An atheist church". I'm look forward to a future where religion is irrelevant in news stories and Christian, Jewish and Muslim congregations are simply referred to individually as "A monotheist church". Or am I reading too much into this and it's just that no-one has yet come up with a name for this "church"?

Personally, Lewis (Monday Letters), I'd be more interested in whether or not PM was single, married or 'in a relationship' (as I believe it is know known since social media took over our lives). Gender only matters to those with no sense of adventure!
