ABSTRACT
Reactions still triggered off by the sound of a vowel, the cut of a coat, the turn of a phrase. . . Once imbued with such reactions it is impossible to escape them; I know that until the day I die I shall be unable to escape noticing ‘raound’ for ‘round’, ‘invoalve’ for ‘involve’ (on that one an Army officer of my acquaintance used to turn down candidates for a commission).
