I enjoyed Rogers Rabbits last week titled: ‘Boycott this nonsense: Stamp out invasion of the macrons' (The Weekend Sun, June 13) about the NZ Geographic B ard wanting to rename Otumoetai by putting a macron above the U.

I think it should be renamed the Geographic Bored because they've obviously got too much time on their hands, rather like me in a way - except they get paid for it.

Come to think of it, a change to Geocrapic Bored may be even better.

I've come up with an alternative to a macron, which I call the arselet.

It is a round symbol like an O but divided by a line like so:

Unfortunately, the keyboard on which I type has no method of creating such a symbol, but maybe The Weekend Sun can design it?

My suggestion is the arselet symbol be either placed above or included in any words or phrases that are politically correct.

The arselet symbol would immediately identify not the pronunciation of words, but that their meaning should taken as being full of ####.
