Sir, - "Waiting on Florida" (Editorial, November 11th) is a curious headline. Who is Florida, what is she? To dance attendance on a lady is to wait on her obsequiously, which may also include - although it ain't necessarily so - waiting for her.
Fortunately, the meaning becomes clear in the opening sentence. You refer to the extraordinary week in US politics and that there is "no option but to await the outcome" of the recount in Florida.
The headline should have read: "Waiting for Florida". - Yours, etc.,
