MC> It depends on what you mean by "sensibly". You can't expect the result to be valid for languages other than those it was explicitly designed for. As a result, since it is meant to be a general-purpose algorithm, it might be a good idea to explicitly designate the languages along which the algorithm was designed? MC> To me, privileging French and Italian over Uzbek is a sensible MC> choice. Oh, to me it is as well. Uzbek is clearly not the #1 or #5 or #20 language in the world. I was talking about Uzbek mainly because it was the first counterexample that came to my mind :-) Philipp
