Some people say that BM isn't suitable for science, technology, or finance, but I disagree. Any language can handle new words and describe new concepts. These IT words are only a problem because we already knew them in English before we tried to use them in Malay. If you could show a computer mouse to someone who has never seen one, they would give it a name. Americans came up with the name "mouse" because they thought it looked like a mouse. A Malaysian would probably give it a completely different name. -- *Ghodmode* http://www.ghodmode.com/blog -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 and http://portal.mosc.my/
