Right - while we're being pedants, (Your Letters, HH, St Albans), I'd like to get a few things off my chest too. To all users of Facebook: if you think something is sad/cute etc., the word is "Ahhh" and not "Awww" (which I read as "Orrr" and which makes everyone sound Texan). Also, if you *must* emphasise the word so, then use asterisks as 'sooooo' just reads as "Sue". And I should know. Hmph.

The name for a predictable letter is a Holness (Your Letters, Tuesday). Originating as a term from a once amusing remark "Can I have a P please Bob", the term covers both single letters and any predictable text communication; letters, e-mails or texts.
Lewis Graham, Hitchin

To Bas, London (Your Letters, Tuesday, again)- it's OK, PM was wrongly using the word tmesis anyway, otherwise it would have been Da-"two brains"-vid Willetts, and that's just bizarre!

Having , it's surely only a matter of time before scientists reveal your gender: "The monitor, described as spectacular by the scientists who found it, lives in forests covering the Sierra Madre mountains in the north of the country."

Re Paper Monitor "Griffin"? Is that the official LibDem description of their logo, or mistake on PM's part? Griffin: 4-legged, eagle at front, lion at rear, snake for a tail. Phoenix: bird rising from ashes.

The Sun's date branding (Paper Monitor, Wednesday)looks like a subliminal prediction of a Conservative victory: Tories 2, Labour 0, Lib Dems 1, Independents 0. Assuming the election is to be decided by a giant four-team game of football, of course.

Last ever DMQ?! Is this another example of Crunch-Creep? I demand the resignation of Mark Thompson.
Phil, Guisborough

No more DMQ? Why would you do such a thing? I know redundancies are often unavoidable but this is an outrage!
Dave Cassar, London

What, no more Daily Mini-Quizzes? Noooo! Did I miss a memo? Why are we being deprived of fun little quiz?

Why is the Daily Mini-Quiz ending? Why oh why?!
Sarah J, London

I suppose you thought today was a good day to bury bad news? How dare you! How dare you stop the Daily Mini-Quiz - it's an integral part of my lunch hour. I think it should be re-instated immediately and no more of these silly cuts, please! Harrrumph!

Paul Morris, Exeter

Re "And this is the last answer of the last Daily Mini-Quiz ever. Farewell to all. Sniff" No, please, why? This is my daily brain workout, please reconsider....
Paul, Knaresborough

Imagine my moment glee when I got today's mini-quiz answer correct. Then imagine my abject misery when I read the text accompanying the answer. I mean, I knew the Beeb was planning to halve its web presence, but is nothing sacred?! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have to go lie down.

Monitor: Change may be the mantra of the moment for some, but this is not the driving force behind the departure of our dearly beloved friend, Mini-Quiz, Daily. Rather, it is being put out to pasture by dint of the fact a server is being switched off. 2,368 answers so far. No flowers
