It's that man again

Sir: I wonder if your Mr Crappy Colum- nist is any more English than I am? In any case, I must admit that he has given a word, in fact his own name, to our language (Let- ters, 22 May).

As to his last sentence, I must remind him that it is a very long time since the whole world spoke Greek.

Now I hope everyone has had a good laugh, but I will not be feeding his ego by continuing this correspondence. Mr Crap- pycopulate is welcome to the last word.
