As far as I can tell there is no need for you (Dharsana) to appologies. It was not you but Chris Wagner that used the IM-lish language.
Normally I would not interfere in these discussions but when someone is complaining about 'protocols' (Deane Rothenmaier) while making a big mailing-list 'nono' himself (posting in HTML) I can't sit back and say nothing. Not intended as a flame or anything, I agree with the things Deane stated but I hope he takes my "critisism" to value as well. May we all enjoy a nice and proper mailing list :-) (Yes I did end that with a smilie on purpose) Regards, Huub Peters ----- Original Message ----- From: Dharshana Eswaran To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: perl-win32-users@listserv.activestate.com Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 3:54 PM Subject: Re: Parsing of HEX bytes using Perl Hi Deane Rothenmaier, I am sorry for using IM-lish. I will surely make sure that i don't commit this mistake again in any mailing lists. Since i was in a hurry, i did not notice the IM-lish language used by me. Sorry once again and Thanks for the feedback. I completely understand what you have told in the mail. Thanks and Regards, Dharshana On 10/26/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: USE ENGLISH, not IM-lish; this is NOT an AOL chat room, and we're not a bunch of 14-year-olds. "Ur" is not a word, it is the name of an ancient Chaldean city. It's also a prefix meaning original or prototypical, as in "ur-lord," for you Thomas Covenant fans. What "ur" might mean to anyone for whom American English (not to dignify it as being anything of the sort) is not their native tongue is, as was previously mentioned by another poster, open to misinterpretation and causes unnecessary confusion. If ur (you're) as lazy in ur (your) coding as ur (you are) in your emailing, one would be amazed to find that you have anything that "wurx." IMHO, it's bad enough that smileys and acronyms, such as IMHO, have weaseled their way into this forum; don't make things worse by using IM-lish.
