Any chance the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ will stop using that terrible non-word "Brits" to describe Britons? Brits is on its way to becoming a pejorative, much like Yanks, and I for one don't like it.

Re today's Paper Monitor, what is wrong with calling a typeface a fount? To call it a font would be a disgusting Americanism of which there are already far too many.

Paper Monitor. I don't think you can really claim the moral high ground on the formulas issue, considering just have been published on this site. Here's a hint: just because you receive a press release doesn't mean you have to publish a story on it - as a well-respected news organisation you should be holding your journalism to higher standards.

If I may wade into the gruntled/disgruntled debate, I hate to be pedantic (I lie, it's fantastic, you should all try it) but if a pig's snout is a "gruntle", wouldn't the removal of the appendage be "de-gruntle" as opposed to "dis-gruntle"? Sorry, Jenny (again, I'm not - this is the only fun I get).
Ben Paddon, Luton, England

As the play-ground ditty goes:
If a man is not reckless
if a man is not uncouth,
if a man is not ruthless
Is he reck and couth and ruth?
