No 'negative' temperatures 

I enjoy listening to your student interns and admire their efforts toward the achievement of on-air professionalism. My affection is also a part of this appreciation as my daughter held a similar position in another college. , The occasional gaffes made by your interns can only be understood as reasonable aspects of their early efforts., HOWEVER (and, of course, you knew this was coming) this evening's weather report in which below zero temperatures are expressed as "negative" numbers goes beyond mild irritation. The conventional reporting of such numbers has been:, "below zero" and/or "minus".

Keep up your good work which includes the encouragement and training you give to your interns.

--[You are absolutely correct. . . I have this evening sent an e-mail to all our student board operators and other staff, about this issue.
