The joys of autocorrect: Handel’s Dixit Dominus | Brief letters
Coco Khan is right to enjoy the unexpected delights of autocorrect (Autocorrect can be ‘ducking’ annoying, but we’ll miss its accidental poetry when it’s gone, 7 June). My personal favourite popped up when I was writing up a performance of Handel’s Dixit Dominus. It took me some time to correct autocorrect’s insistence that what I meant was dixie dominoes.

Regarding Rich Pelley’s discussion of Noel Gallagher’s cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart (Opinion, 8 June), surely the definitive cover version is by the Hot 8 Brass Band, which turns this mopey teenage dirge into something brash and joyful.

I’ll probably be expelled from the party for writing this, but John Harris was spot-on (Cold, cynical and paranoid: if this is Labour in opposition, what will it look like in power?, 11 June).

Emma Beddington is not alone. Our bird table is visited by Pigeon, Pigeon’s Friend and Pigeon‑Pigeon-Doesn’t-Like (The kids are back from university – and I’m counting on them to restore my sanity, 12 June). We haven’t seen Pigeon‑With-A-Poorly-Leg for a while, and I fear the worst.

Come on, surely Woking is most famous for its Pizza Express (Letters 11 June).

In the 8 June print edition, you report that “UK house prices suffer annual fall for the first time since 2012”. Did you mean “enjoy”?
