But it's only English if the English can understand you. Otherwise it's no longer English, or alternatively they have changed their English so that others cannot understand, in which case can they still claim it to be english? So change Tango enough etc etc. Anton _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
