Hi! SD> There is a story about a Russian mathematician (whose name I forget) who SD> was once chided by a British friend about the way he spoke English. His SD> reply was "there are 70 million English that speak English like you and SD> 240 million Russians that speak it like me"
Steve, mathematicians tend to overgeneralize things... I really doubt that among 240 (let say, there are that many) million people whose mother's tongue is Russian, there would be 70 million (I've no idea about population of England) who speak any English... But thanks, you made me chuckle... Boris
