MRAB -> '%sMuchRubyAndBasic' %'Too' MRAB -> Method.Ruby(AttractsBraindead) MRAB -> MyRubyAintBad MRAB -> MuchoRubyAndBasic Pythonian is more acceptable in the context of my sentence... """ If Ruby want's to incorporate so many Pythonian ideas into their language, at least put a note in the tutorial giving credit to Guido for his wisdom.""" Pythonian.translate() -> in the domain if Python... ownership Pythonic.translate() -> in a python style... (way of) two radically different meaning, of course if you vocabulary reaches that far?? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
