While I do agree that command on English is important in the 'globalised' world, but should we make it butt of jokes? Should the lack of better language skill be an obstacle in learning a technology? What is more important -- bridging the digital divide or language skills? Adrianne Knopper, Klaus' wife and inspiration behind Adrianne Knoppix, doesn't speak English at all. I have met many non-English speaking experts and they refrain from speaking the language. The point I want to drive home is, this is a GNU/Linux mailing list, not a writer's block ;-) So, I just found it not so good to discourage someone, by pointing grammatical or spelling errors. We are not linguistics ... we are linexers :-) Swapnil _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
