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

Surely it’s the West End.

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

I wasn’t caring about capitalisation. That’s an entirely separate problem :)
Not sure if they hyphenate it, but I suspect they probably do.

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