Pierre, I'm sorry. I do not write english as wall as you. My native=20 language is French, I speak also a bit Dutch and a little bit berber (Dialect of North Africa). I use a lot english=20 language at work and for hobbies (Rebol is mainly a hobby for me). It's difficult for me to write in english=20 without mistakes. But the most important thing is that I'm able to communicate with people=20 around the planet. I can read this mailing list and discuss about Rebol. Sometimes, when I=20 suspect misunderstanding, I ask for precisions. Your English course is not the subject of this mailing list. It's very=20 interresting, but that's not the place. There are many other websites and mailing lists for that. I'm certainly the only=20 person really interrested by this mini english course :-) Your posts are technicaly interresting but a bit aggressive. Keep cool.=20 It's just technical discussion. Give your opinion and try do not make only affirmations. When a new maling list user is=20 talking about Rebol, nobody says "You are wrong" just because he is a newbie. It's because he make a mistake. This is not=20 an agression. I never saw any aggression on this mailing list before you recent posts. Otherwise, when Grabrielle has said "You are wrong", ... I think it's=20 simply because he thinks you were wrong. In this case I agree with him.=20 Pierre, don't feel attacked. Peoples as Gabrielle are not simply guru's. They work for Rebol and some=20 parts of Rebol where created by them. They knows how rebol works inside more than a standard developper (even very=20 experienced.) If your are interrested about good language usage : Humanity cannot be=20 translated in french into "Humanit=E9". The corresponding english word is= =20 Mankind. It's an usual mistake of french speaking people. But you will=20 find more informations about that on other mailing lists. This is not=20 the place. PS: did you participate on the french rebol forum (rebolfrance.org)=20 before under the name RebolNuts. Just because you react exacly as this=20 person. He was technically interresting but also always aggressive=20 because he felt aggressed. > Words label concepts that have precise meaning.
