Dear Editor,
One thing one learns as a letter writer is brevity and to the point. Compare and contrast mine and Shamshun Mohamed’s brief letters on l’affaire Dharamlall with that of GHK Lall all making similar points. One is five times the length of the other two.
More does not mean better. Swallow-ing a dictionary no substitute for clear thinking.
Please can the subs cut the prolix down to size? It helps readers,
Best,
John ‘Bill Cotton/Reform’ Mair
