Imagine we changed the topic slightly: Cody: I have a really great idea. How about a machine that flies through the air and carries people from one city to another? Rob: It is easy, and in fact is already done, via airplanes. For example, this airplane: www.lufthansa.com Larry: It is not already done. I checked the Lufthansa website and they do not fly to my city. Rob, your statement was inaccurate, Quit trying to weasel out of admitting you made an erroneous statement. Your statement indicates you don't care about small Canadian cities. Of course, you do work for IBM. Exactly parallel to above, but do you see how inappropriate such a response would be seen? The verb "to done" and its participle "done" is a very flexible word in English. It has dozens of meanings listed in any good dictionary. Its subtitles and idioms can vex even native English speakers. So I have a lot of sympathy for how hard it must be for non-native speakers. -Rob > > -- > ______________________________**___ > > Larry I.
