As sent to the Telegraph Letters page yesterday, it wont get published.

I watched with pleasure as the plucky Brit Sir Ben took on crews from around the world in the America’s Cup qualifying races. In a post Brexit atmosphere the UK demonstrated its ability to compete and win at the highest levels, something we need to reassure ourselves is still possible.
It therefore jarred when the American commentator described how the boats raced around the boooeees. This word, developed from French German and English origins is being given an entirely new pronunciation. We may disagree over the pronunciation of aluminium and tomato and smile ruefully as they are hijacked. But I felt it would have been appropriate that Claire Baldwin reprimanded the commentator.
I want my buoy back.
