memo

Dear radio announcers, newsreaders, and other people who speak professionally:

The following words have L's in them:

• million
  
• billion
  
• trillion (etc.)
  
• William
  
• familiar

... I'm sure you can think of others.

I'd like it if you'd stop talking about miyyons of dollars, Prince Wiyyam County, and so on, with all convenient speed.

thanks
Fox



In other news, I am having some thoughts about my extreme susceptibility to changes in air pressure. Maybe putting this here will remind me to talk about it tomorrow.

I am really in love with the phrase "with all convenient speed" and I would begin using it today if I thought anyone with whom I work could parse it.
