Dear Fred
I too wouldn't pillory anyone for the quality of their language. But Dr. Barad
is not anyone. He is a doctor. I don't know whether it is in medicine or he
holds a doctorate. But either way he is a highly qualified man. And an author
too. So there should not be any excuse for VERY BAD English. And I am not
talking about the common typos and other errors which are more due to oversight.
It would certainly be unfair if Dr Barad took off our faultable knowledge of
medical issues simply because we have never studied medicine. Whereas English
is the medium of instruction at all levels of education. I am sure Dr Barad has
got his degrees by answering exams in English. It is OK if he answered all his
exams in Greek in a university in Greece.
Best Regards
Tony

Hi Tony, I wouldn't pillory anyone for the quality of their language ...
maybe for the quality of their arguments. Would it be fair if Dr Barad took
off our faultable knowledge of medical issues? I don't agree with you here.
