Editor: On page 12 of your Nov. 23, 2016 edition is an article with the heading 鈥楴ew upgrades will make B.C. campsite reservations more fair.鈥�
In my Collins English Language Dictionary, the word 鈥渇air鈥� is followed by the words 鈥渇airer鈥� and 鈥渇airest.鈥�
Instead of 鈥渕ore fair,鈥� the word 鈥渇airer鈥� would seem appropriate.
I often wonder if grammar and composition are taught as separate subjects as they were when I went to school in the 1930s, or if they are taught at all as part of the present day schooling.
However, at 94, I must reconcile myself to the fact that spelling, talking and writing the English language has changed over the years, particularly in this electronic age.
I trust that I have not ruffled any feathers with this letter, but I just wanted to point out what I considered to be a grammatical error.

Editor鈥檚 note: No feathers ruffled. Thank you for the reminder.
