Words to the unwise I’ve written before about the use of gutter language in C-VILLE Weekly. From the words used in your latest issue, I can only conclude that you employ mostly uneducated people. Why not use the word “tree” instead of “sucker” [Big Picture, November 22]? Why use the phrase, “If she refuses to […]

Tri, tri again The name of the colonial man’s three-sided hat is actually spelled “tricorn” (alternatively spelled “tricorne”), not “tricorner” [“Court Square now officially tourist-friendly,” 7 Days, November 22]. You must have heard the same misinformation in school that I did many years ago when I was told that those hats were called “tricorn” because […]
She’s got our number I’m not sure who would be the most appropriate recipient of this e-mail. I just want to tell someone at C-VILLE Weekly that I’ve really enjoyed the Sudoku puzzles that are now included. I look forward to them every week. Thank you for having them in addition to the crossword puzzle! […]
Count on Ten When Region Ten Board Chair Barbara Barrett says the controversy between Region Ten and the Little High Area Neighborhood Association (LHANA) was a “comedy of errors” she’s not kidding! [“High tension on Little High Street,” November 8] However, it’s important to keep in mind the important changes going on at Region Ten […]
Project logic “Censored—or bogus” should have been the headline over your recent cover story instead of “The people only need this much news” [November 1]. Claiming there are stories that are “too controversial, or too much of a challenge to the rich and powerful…” to be carried in the mainstream media is itself a claim […]
Double the D I am appalled at the Wahoo defense—or lack thereof—this football season [“Cavs surrender 21 points in College Park,” 7 Days, October 4]. We are making opposing quarterbacks look like Johnny Unitas, receivers look like Jerry Rice and runningbacks look like Jim Brown! It’s not “Where’s the beef?” We have the beef. It’s […]
Vote No on elected school board Regarding the upcoming November 8 voter referendum as to whether the City of Charlottesville should switch from a school board appointed by City Council to one directly elected by the voters [“Elect the elected school board,” Opinionated, October 25]: A switch to an elected school board is not necessarily […]
Face the music To be honest, I’m a bit astonished that you ran a feature story on 13-year olds who like their parents’ records [“Talkin’ ‘bout their generation,” October 11]. I find it about as surprising as a headline reading “Suburban kids found playing soccer!” Of course middle school kids like the music their parents […]
Enough talk; time for action In her high-toned response to “Read This First,” Eboni C. Bugg [Mailbag, October 4] says essentially that C-VILLE editor Cathy Harding wouldn’t know racism if it bit her on the ass. With respect to Ms. Bugg’s passionate sincerity, I have to say that her letter comes off as not much […]
City residents rolled over by Stones Thank you for providing a forum in which interested Charlottesville residents and others can express our concerns, passions and opinions. As a city of Charlottesville resident, I am appalled and ashamed at the chaos that was created in order to make a few bucks and satisfy the rock ‘n’ […]
