Why address your letter to a Sir? We have a female editor now | Open door: Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

A small, though not unimportant, bugbear is the number of letters the Guardian receives that begin addressed to "Sir", or "Sirs". The letters desk receives a significant number of these per day, perhaps because, while we omit the addressee when publishing a letter, other newspapers, including the Telegraph and the Times, continue to use this more formal style.
