Sir,—Perhaps, when the Broadcasting Council allots its budget for the next financial year, it will vote a salary for a linguistic adviser to its news readers, so sparing the winces of those of us who have travelled in the Middle East and Africa. I found the varied pronunciations of Entebbe (Ntebbee) distracted from the news value of that episode. These constant ignorances must embarrass and irritate representatives of these countries. Your, etc, MS BENITA THOMAS. November 22, 1976.
