> ;: 'You can"t depend upon it' Really? My English dictionary lists neither
" nor t as words :) And even if it did, how many of his clients do you think Thomas is going to convince to type 'can"t' instead of 'can''t'? Of course, you could work around this with string replacement and transformations, but by the time you handle all the special cases, you'd have been better off using ;. or dyad ;: anyway. This isn't a problem with ;: . The monad wasn't designed to parse English, it was designed to parse J. It's just that J stole the English word for "word" (just like it stole "verb", "noun", etc). -Dan PS: Because of the J IDE's syntax coloring, when I write a multiline comment using 0 :0 instead of multiple NB. , I backticks ` in place of apostrophes (unpaired single quotes). So I would've given your example as You can`t depend upon it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
