I suppose I am just relating this subject to my own perspectives and interests. However, if Ruhi is as popular as some people claim, and I was repulsed by it, then I am obviously not the target audience. If I would have pulled out my Pocket PC to look up a word in its dictionary, and the tutor would have said, or recommended, that I not do so, my first assumption would have been that the person was joking. After I ascertained that she or he was being serious, I would have politely excused myself and walked out. >>I would like to see the results of scientifically controlled interviews of >>these tutors.<< To me, the whole thing is just plain ridiculous. It is not worth the time of a social scientist. Mark A.
