Bernie:
Your suggestion re: my termination problems appears to have been
on target. I did a fresh install in a different directory. I
had no further problems. Thx
>Im kind of getting tired of this. As a protest Ill drop my "'"-
marks for a while. I think we all know that we shouldnt write
like this by now - but does one or two simple errors like that
per mail make the mail unreadable for anyone?<
It isn't a question of readbility, but rather clarity of
expression and observance of the language rules. I don't care
whether you drop your apostrophes or not -- so long as you are
doing it deliberately and not out of ignorance.
This sort of sloppiness would not be acceptable, nor work,
with a computer language. Why should it be any more acceptable
in spoken/written English?
That you're "protesting" means that I've done what I set out
to do -- make you think about the grammar of what you're writing.
