Another billet doux

Dear Mr. Ram,

The article 'Francois army in Hyderabad.' (Coimbatore Edition- 1 June 2007Young World)

'In 1970, he fought with Tipu Sultan of Mysore.'

It could have been a typo, but the year does not correspond to the arrival of Raymond in India or any of his exploits.

As this section is read by children, why don't you people follow a set style guide and avoid erroneous reporting.

Enjoy reading Young World because most articles are written by women and women do their writing from their heart not the mind, were as in men it is vice versa.

Another blooper in Literary Review, Sunday, 3 June 2007.

The critic points out the author's spelling mistakes (peasant- pheasant) and she herself makes the same mistake by spelling Orwell as Owell (sounds like the Ewell in the book To Kill a Mocking Bird- Harper Lee). Do not remember the name of that of that review.

I would like you to come over these small mistakes and not creating a new Indian History as the saying goes, 'Let sleeping dogs sleep' or to that effect and not getting these children confused.

Regards.
