Pam Hunt's letter (Letters, May 20), reminded me of when my younger brother, many years ago, had problems deciding whether certain words were pronounced with TH or F.
My mother constantly corrected him when he got it wrong.
But taking him to purchase a new coat one day, the sales assistant asked him if he preferred blue or fawn.
Looking at him haughtily, my brother proudly stated: "Thorn" then looked triumphantly to my mother for approval.
