To the Editor,

Why do you continue to publish the so called “research” and conclusions of the Cancer Action spokesperson? As a two-time breast cancer survivor, and advocate for survivors, I can say without reservation that the cause of breast cancer is complicated and not completely understood.

To the Editor:

I, like most of America, was appalled at the news of the unfortunate death of the two small children in South Carolina. I had to take a moment, pause and ask myself how this continues to happen in our country, and when and where did the moral compass of this great country get so far off track that a woman felt she had no choice other than committing filicide.

I do believe I’ve seen everything now. The Sound Off entry critical of the spelling in NCN contained three misspelled words itself. Newspaper and proofreader are compound words. If they are spaced apart, they’re misspelled. As far as referring to the misspelled words as “miss spelled” - indeed! Was this a joke?

In response to ‘Too Many Errors,’ (Sound Off, Oct. 27-Nov. 2), I just couldn’t leave this one alone. I too enjoy reading local clips, especially yours since you misspelled the word misspelling in your letter of complaint! I had to laugh out loud! Keep trying, but look before you leap. You could always try using that spell check you mentioned.

Re: ‘Too many errors’ (Sound Off, Oct. 27-Nov. 2), BooHoo BooHoo, Spelling errers, realy! Well maybe some of us noth contry hicks arn’t as educeted as some, or maybe it’s a mater of careless ness in our less than pefect writting. Or it coud be a falty keybord. To be judged on some of our imprfect speling is simply ignrant on your prt, like you have nevr speled a word wrng!! So hows yur perfct word??
