Greetings, fellow dialists,
Our local comprehensive school, realising that teenagers are 
congenitally unable to get up in the morning, has altered school hours 
from 9 till 4 to the later time of 10 till 5. A small point in Frank 
King's favour?

Oh, by the way, I have been rebuked for spelling "dialist" as I do, 
instead of "diallist".  In my defence, "dialist" is the only spelling 
offered in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary. We also have "royalist", 
"federalist", "herbalist", "socialist", even "evangelist" and many more. 
Of course, "dialling" is correct UK usage (I don't know what Noah 
Webster has to say).
