Dear gods, what ARE you on David Elmo??
You seem to get caught up in the most miniscule, trivial things, and
write long postings about it. Arguments even. Or am I to take all that
as jokes? It's hard to tell when I can't see your face - maybe
something to consider when your're writing.
Maybe you have too much time on your hands? Maybe time to find
something more interesting to spend it on? 8-)
Oh, by the way, you DO need to write right-to-left in Roman languages
sometimes too - at least in mine. I use it all the time in more formal
letters; the place and date should be on the right side in Norwegian.
Apple promises to write right to left. Right? And it does not deliver
this. There are hidden conditions. The language has to be just right.
If the language has to be just right, why bother to have the command,
why does it not simply default to right to left when you break out in
Arabic (as a mad Englishman like me is wont to do from time to time).
Yeah, sure there would be a notice to ask you if you really want to
go to rich text, but that would be it. They have stuffed up, here was
an opportunity for Apple to do /exactly/ what they promised and they
did not. There would be less of an air of stuff up if English did not
get right justified with the command (what on earth is the point of
this?). I would expect some normal Apple elegance or wit like a
notice to say: "Hey, you trying to be funny, Pal? You can't do this
automatically in a left to right language. If you wanna fool about,
damn well type things backwards. Get off our backs will you?" Now
that kind of straight talking and coding would avoid the stuff up.
David Elmo
