Re Zoe Williams’s article (MI6 has appointed its first female leader. What took it so long?, 16 June), after being told by my (new, younger, male) boss that I was “motherly” and “aggressive”, I handed in my notice. Shame I had to leave the job I loved, but better that than working for dickheads. If they’re not interested in you, it is not worth trying to change them from within. Move on to where you are appreciated; good workplaces do exist.Sarah JacksonLondon

While not wishing to doubt the sincerity of Marci Shore, who said “The lesson of 1933 is you get out sooner rather than later”, and her fellow professors, should they not be anticipating the lesson of 1938 and move further away from the US than Canada (Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’, 16 June)?Robert ArrowsmithBlackburn, Lancashire

I am a retired teacher, and one morning I asked one of my students: “How are you this morning?”. “I’m good,” she replied. “Don’t you mean ‘I’m well?’” “Yeah, I’m well good.” Language evolves, and changes, and the younger generation is always one step (at least) ahead of us (Letters, 20 June).Iain FentonLancaster

“When did cooks start pan‑frying rather than just frying?” asks Dr Mary Oldham (Letters, 18 June). About the same time that they started oven roasting.Henry MaltBythorn, Cambridgeshire

“What else can you fry in?” asks Dr Mary Oldham. A deep fat fryer. Or an air fryer.Chris EvansEarby, Lancashire
