Agreed, but this case you needn't have worried. > I did not mean very detailed in a pejorative sense I know you didn't (and I knew that at the time). But your message did provoke the thought that it I might've offended Robert O'Boyle or Bill Harris in recent threads, or in general my direct interlocutors when I post detailed messages. I realized it might not always be obvious that I try to write for a broader audience, so I decided to publicize that fact, lest overly detailed reply (ostensibly) to a veteran Jer provoke offense (for exactly the misinterpretive reasons you mention). But at no time was I offended. > "A two-element train of a conjunction with a noun or a verb produces an > adverb..." > is located in Dictionary/Dictionary/II. Grammar/F. Trains. Yep, and its public URL is at [1]. > x (vn c) <-> vn c x , x (c vn) <-> x c vn and x (a0 a1) <-> (x a0) a1 You know, we really should form F^4; we are like-minded. I was writing a followup to Tracy's remark when yours came in, in which I was preparing to quote & describe the trains table as well. I regret that it was decommissioned before I had a chance to (ab)use it. -Dan PS: BTW, the quotes in your message are coming out weird and messing up the format of your text. Are you using a "smart quote" feature? Outlook, Word, and some web interfaces (using RTF browser toolbars) turn these on by default. I've never found them helpful (but then I'm not a typesetting nazi either). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
