Newscaster spelling
Sir. — Before approving the illuminated newscaster in Cathedral Square, the City Council sought assurances that this would not intrude on the architecture and general appearance of the area. Now that the newscaster is operating, will the [council consider seeking an assurance that whatever appears there is at least correct in grammar and spelling? In the space of two minutes last night, I observed the following three faults: “underpriviledged” for underprivileged; “suspence” for suspense; and “Antartica” for Antarctica. Perhaps it’s not really the operator’s
I fault. Perhaps it’s the fault lof the primary school pupils he must have hired for holiday labour. — Yours, etc., J. C. GATFIELD. December 18, 1975.
