Letter: A meaningful slip
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IN AN imperfect world one has to allow for the possibility of typographical error, even in the Independent on Sunday. But when Derek Pringle refers to Graham Gooch as a 'batsmean' ('Twilight to limelight', Sport, 15 May) I incline to a theory of inspired coinage. Gooch's economy of generosity may not quite match one of his predecessors among England opening batsmen, but someone who helped deprive us of years of Gower must stand pretty high in the ranks of meanness.
