Letter: Outfoxed

Published 4 September 2004

From Debra Ferreday

Rob Hawarth is right to point out that, thanks to Feedback’s article on googlewhackblatts, a search for alapacoid now brings up two results (31 July, p 24). On the other hand, when spelled correctly, alopecoid (meaning fox-like) brings up 1960 results.
