Sir, – Further to “Just reaching out about those odious Americanisms and infuriating academic affectations” (Opinion & Analysis, December 29th), I have onboarded Justine McCarthy’s opinions and I thank her for awaring me of them. – Yours, etc,
PAUL MURPHY,
Dublin 9.
Sir, – An email I received recently from a master’s student in one of our well-known universities who wanted to be put in touch with homeless people for research purposes highlighted how nonsensical things have become. It started off “Hi Gatekeeper – I am reaching out to you.” Justine’s article has reassured me that I am not alone as I head into the New Year optimistic that things might change. Hope springs eternal. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – My only pushback is that what Justine McCarthy cites is only the tip of the iceberg and there may be a cohort who feel it is too much of a heavy-lift or have bandwidth challenges in pushing the envelope. – Yours, etc,
SIMON BLAKE,
Munich.
