I read Christine Luffman’s letters (May 18 and 28) on etiquette with a wry smile.

I try to make an effort to coordinate my attire.

I find it easier sticking to black and white, especially in the winter.

Personally I would settle for some people on the bus to work in the mornings having a shower and clean clothes every other day.

As for grammar, the under-40s appear to communicate purely by text messaging.

I agree with Mrs Luffman – it is now sadly rare to find well-spoken people in ordinary life.

Today, people are more insular with their laptop or iPhone.
