A subtler word?

Dear Editor,

I have observed the word buggery/buggered has been used by both SN and GC. It would be subtler if the word sodomized could be used instead.

Just an observation/suggestion.

Yours faithfully,
Guy Marco

Editor’s note

This issue has been raised several times before. ‘Buggery’ is the word used in the Laws of Guyana, and is the offence with which a defendant is charged and for which he is tried in court.
