RADIO PRONUNCIATION
TO TBS EDITOR OF TBS PRESS. Sir, —A letter under the above heading and signed “Amused Listener," containing some cheap sneers at the expense of some of our YA announcers, urges me to write these few lines in reply. In my opinion, our radio announcers, both in the national and commercial stations, are a credit to , the service, and the two YA announcers referred to compare favourably with any in the world. Their speech is as nearly perfect as It is humanly possible to use. I suppose most public servants are subject to some criticism, but I think in this case it is most unjust. .. ..
Surely a slight slip in the pronunciation of some foreign words, even if made over the air, is hardly an excuse for the offenders to be subject to a spiteful attack by some budding George Bernard Shaw, who has not the courage to sign his own name.—Yours, etc., B s FRED DAVIES. Taratuhi, September 26, 1938.
