Properly quoted below.
My text, though imperfect, communicated my three points..
What is bioinformics?
What problem in bioinformics does Perl solve?
How does Perl solve this problem?
You seem to know a word or two in latin. But for some reason I
don't believe you have ever had to speak to someone who's language you
did not know. I spent 2 years living with someone who would equate to
being my step-grandmother. I communicated fine with her, though I could
say two words in her language, and she spoke one in mine. If you can't
decipher poorly written english, well, please don't try to correct my
Enlish with another language (eg latin).
I do use eg because 1 bdrm, 2 bth, 2 car grg, w/ht and hw, most
(typical, newspaper reading, english speaking) people can understand.
Why take up two more .. just because that is how someone else did it?
You understood it, why do you focus on the details of informal
communication? I'm curious. What do you say to your friends who
approach you with the phrase, "what's up".
Had I shown you the new idea I had for a drug which cures aids,
would you throw away my idea because it was written in pencil, without
punctuation, on a napkin?
In the future, though, I will make all attempt to present all formal
correspondance to you in a well written manner, so you won't have to
suffer my bad inglish.
