Too much ‘licence’

Dear Editor,

It is difficult to cope with the increasing incidence of mispronunciations on radio and television, as well as with the gratuitous misspelling of words in the media, moreso the print media.

It would appear that sub-editors and others concerned, have taken licence to spell words however they feel. But of all the institutions it is unforgivable that the GRA (and its predecessor organisation) who have been licensing vehicles of all types for generations should feel itself empowered to place in the last Sunday press two advertisements headed proudly ‘LICENCING’.

This is simply too much ‘licence’!

Yours faithfully,
E.B. John
