ANNOUNCERS VOICES
The Editor, "The Listener" Sir,-One of the letters in The Listener of June 7 showed poor judgment and poorer taste. Perhaps your correspondent has an acute accent, so hates to admit that our speech is a corruption of pure English, The same education which has told him about the French of Stratford-atte-Bow should warn him to give decent respect to other people’s opinions "even if they are wrong." Visitors are worth listening to, especially in this matter of good speech where we are apt to be so » pitifully complacent. Yours, etc.,
