George Monbiot is very keen for people to change their lifestyle to "save the planet" and claims to lead by example. I would like to issue a challenge to him to see if he will go that little bit further in his energy saving activities. His surname contains a silent 't'. Dropping it would not affect any audio representation of his name, but would save one character, out of the original 14 in 'George Monbiot', in the huge number instances stored and transmitted on the web, email and print. The 't' character is one byte in ASCII and in the more commonly used UTF-8 encoding. 'Every little helps' - I wonder if he would do it. Edited on 10/11/2026 at 12:01:39.
