"Spelling"
I agree with Mr. S Rasul's opinion expressed in his letter "Spelling" (30/06/08). I believe, it is possible to change the English spellings of our districts' names which would become much closer to original pronunciation, not dictated by the British colonial rulers. We only need to turn to our mighty neighbour India for inspiration!
The Indian city of Calcutta became Kolkata, Bombay became Mumbai and Madras became Chennai. So why can't we alter the spellings of our cities?
