NEW ZILLAND AND NEW ZILLANDERS
Sir,-The other Monday night, when four literary men were discussing their craft from 2YA, two of them repeatedly spoke of "New Zilland" and "New Zillanders." Listeners have every justification for believing that people of such literary eminence would use standard pronunciation, and by copying them are in danger of spreading a hideous and incorrect usage.
