In the spirit of open conversation and to support an array of perspectives, Professionally Speaking welcomes letters to the editor. The opinions expressed in letters are solely those of the authors and should not be interpreted as the view of the College. We reserve the right to edit letters for length and clarity. Letters should be sent to ps@oct.ca, be in response to content in the magazine, and include the writer's phone number and registration number.
Only moments after suggesting to my English-teacher wife that the "True Grit" article in the June 2021 issue of Professionally Speaking could be used as an exemplar in organizing an essay with three points — second-strongest first, followed by the weakest point and finishing with the best argument — I read "Going the Distance," which failed to inform me of the sport in which Perdita Felicien had excelled!

Editor's note: You're right. An unfortunate edit meant we lost that important detail. Perdita Felicien is a two-time Olympian, 10-time national champion and world champion in the sport of hurdling.
