Minor point, but I don't think the English translation is used merely because of drh's native tongue; it also happens to be a good choice to use English on the Internet so as many people as possible can read it. > Lets not pretend the rules are from English origin please. --DD I don't think that was what Wout meant. Read "Ye Olde English" as "Aesthetically 'old'", not "use the original". Point was merely to give some visual clues to the reader that "the original is very old", since it's clear a lot of people aren't reading the first part of the document. And again, English is a good choice to reach as many as possible. -- Kind Regards, Jan _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
