From Kevin Halford
It was interesting to read of others sometimes being unsure of pronunciation (21 June, p 27).
I am a distance-learning science undergraduate with the UK’s . One tutor at an OU summer school, who had also taught in brick universities, commented that she could often tell brick students from distance learners: the former knew how to pronounce a word but didn’t know what it meant, while remote learners knew what a word meant but not how to pronounce it.
