Did I really have to do this?

Emails are cheap, and someone had to keep Radio 4 on its toes. I quote their response in full:

"Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Redonda - the Island with Too Many Kings'.

I understand that you found it unacceptable for a BBC continuity announcer to
use the word 'Less' when the word 'Fewer' should have correctly been used.

I can inform you that our staff newsreaders and announcers, over whose speech we
have direct jurisdiction, undergo a period of extensive training and are only
confirmed in their appointments if the required standard has been reached.

Your comments have been fully registered on our daily audience log. This
internal document will be made available to Senior BBC Management.

Thank you once again for taking the time to contact us.

Regards

Marie Therese Gibson
