An open letter to the local paper

Dear Journos

There’s no such place as “the Westend”. It’s the West end. Similarly, there’s no such thing as a “railstation”. It’s a railway station.

Love and kisses

Gary

  1. Surely it’s the West End.

  2. Do they hyphenate “set up” when it’s a verb? That’s my pet hate.

  3. Gary

    I wasn’t caring about capitalisation. That’s an entirely separate problem :)

    Not sure if they hyphenate it, but I suspect they probably do.

  4. Saw another one this evening: “… when you switch-on the modem …” Aaaach.
