Re Zoe Williams\u2019s article (MI6 has appointed its first female leader. What took it so long?, 16 June), after being told by my (new, younger, male) boss that I was \u201cmotherly\u201d and \u201caggressive\u201d, I handed in my notice. Shame I had to leave the job I loved, but better that than working for dickheads. If they\u2019re not interested in you, it is not worth trying to change them from within. Move on to where you are appreciated; good\u00a0workplaces do exist. While not wishing to doubt the sincerity of Marci Shore, who said \u201cThe lesson of 1933 is you get out sooner rather than later\u201d, and her fellow professors, should they not be anticipating the lesson of 1938 and move further away from the US than Canada (Why a professor of fascism left the US: \u2018The lesson of 1933 is \u2013 you get out\u2019, 16 June)? I am a retired teacher, and one morning I asked one of my students: \u201cHow are you this morning?\u201d. \u201cI\u2019m good,\u201d she replied. \u201cDon\u2019t you mean \u2018I\u2019m well?\u2019\u201d \u201cYeah, I\u2019m well good.\u201d Language evolves, and changes, and the younger generation is always one step (at least) ahead of us (Letters, 20 June). \u201cWhen did cooks start pan\u2011frying rather than just frying?\u201d asks Dr\u00a0Mary Oldham (Letters, 18 June). About the same time that they started oven roasting. \u201cWhat else can you fry in?\u201d asks Dr Mary Oldham. A deep fat fryer. Or an air fryer.
