am not sure that the original poster meant what you describe. Maybe he meant if you are writing in a "native" language write using the original langauge script and the fonts available in that language If one were to read letters written in other languages (not romanized versions) then one often sees similar use of "nativized" english (other language words). To some extent this is visble even in regional language newspapers. Just because we can't read / write / speak other languages does mean we lump all of them together and stick to one langauge beyond which we think its the end of the world. We need to make the effort to try it out in our own lives to start with. ram _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
