Your letters

16:25 UK time, Friday, 30 November 2007

Re "", "Thai commentators said pink first became an important colour for him earlier this year, when royal astrologers determined it was a good colour for his health." and immediately previously "King Bhumibol spent three weeks in hospital last month having treatment for heart problems and other ailments." obviously not that good for his health!
Basil Long, Newark Notts

±õ²õ²Ô’t ? Just because he doesn’t know of any ‘lexicon gap’ doesn’t mean there isn’t one, so this would be a known unknown. There could be unknown gaps that nobody has even thought of, which would be unknown unknowns.
Paul, Milton Keynes

Re Himmelfarbs (Your letters, 29 November)- maybe; himmel (heaven or sky) farbs (corruption from "farben" colour) - mangled German. So translation could be "mute inglorious heaven colours" More picturesque than Gertrude Himmelfarbs methinks but no less opaque.
David, New Forest

Alexander Lewis Jones (Your letters, 29 November), I assume that's not your real name, then?
Adam, London, UK

I thought Ant & Dec looked terrible in their picture on Nick Robinson's Newslog yesterday.
R J Tysoe, London, UK

Sara, Camden, (Your letters, 29 November) actually, of all the letters on the Monitor today, only 1 mentions getting their coats, plus one about getting a bus. Call me a pedant, but 2 out of 34 hardly counts as everyone, rather only 5.9%. Or should I get my coat (and raise the percentage)?
Keith, Dartford

Sara, people who write a letter and then 'get their coat', do it because the content of their letter makes them seem geeky. I however, would resort to no such measures. I'll get my hoody.
Louise, Surrey

Ben Jones (Your letters, 23 November): The number of stars in the solar system is exactly 1, as there is only one solar system; our own, so named after the star itself, Sol. Other stars and their planets are rightly called planetary systems.
Owen Bell, Edinburgh

Am I the only one who is surprised to see than any other UK sports person?
Michael, Sunderland
The Monitor: No.
