Hi Till,

I am sorry if I offended you from my post.

As you can see, I am also not a native English speaker, but
if you have seen any of my posts you can tell that I am making
an effort to write in a way that is clearly understood by other
people in this group.

AFAIK, most of the people here are not native speakers
too. But we use it because it is the lingua franca of this group.
And I can tell that the others are also making an effort to
express themselves well.

If I can do it, and others can do it, he should at make some
effort, don't you think?

 Well yes, but it just gets out of hand at times, too many people think that
 English is gospel.  As it maybe the most spoken language in the world, I
 don't think it's very polite to abuse someone because they don't write it
 well.  As far as anyone is concerned, he may be trying his hardest and by
 the fact that he has posted on a predominantly English forum, say's to me
 that he is willing to have a go!  I'm sure that when you were learning, you
 would not have appreciated someone taunting you because you made a few
 mistakes!
 
 Cheers Till
 
 

Your comments are well taken, and I apologise if my agreement with Bamm 
in response to Lancer seemed somewhat harsh; that was more a sign of my 
own frustration than anything.

Between 1988 and 1998, I spent a fair amount of time tutoring students 
who were in university-level English courses and were having problems 
with their written work.  For most of these, English was their second, 
third, fourth, c, language.  Few of them already knew an Indo-European 
language, which made it that much more difficult.

Never the less, most of them *did* make a conscious effort to try to 
express themselves as clearly as possible.  Likewise, most of those who 
post to these newsgroups also make the effort to express themselves as 
clearly as possible.

I have read postings from people whose native language is German, 
French, Czech, Russian, even Mandarin, Cantonese, or some other Chinese 
language, c, and it generally isn't that difficult to understand them, 
even if their written English isn't that good.  In the case of Bamm and 
a few others who are not native English speakers, their written English 
is even far superior to that of some of the native English speakers who 
post here.

My frustration with Lancer is that he *may* have valid points or he may 
be way off the mark, but it is impossible to tell from his postings, 
since it can be *very* difficult to try to glean any coherent meaning 
from what he has written.

I would perhaps have done better to give him the same advice I so often 
gave to students I was tutoring and told him to keep his grammar as 
simple and straight-forward as possible; unfortunatly, I let my 
frustration get the better of me.

 MSIE for Windows developers were not able to fully implement the very
 standards that Microsoft helped write,

 The reason these are standards is because they were agreed upon by the

Look, it's late and I want to go to bed, and I have *no* idea how to 
explain this to you.

The Euclidean figure you used is axiomatic; it is, therefore, very 
different from, say, the XHTML 1.0 standard, which is not based on any 
axiom(s) but rather on a self-consistent DTD (document type definition). 
  Furthermore, given that XML is designed to be *extensible*, any XML 
application cannot possibly be axiomatic, tho' I suppose SGML could be 
said to be so.  (Anybody able to give me a hand here or to clarify this?)

The best I can do is ask you to look the terms up in a good dictionary. 
   I don't know Spanish, so the best I can do is give you French terms 
that are roughly cognate with the distinction of which I'm thinking; 
that should give you a place from which to begin, at least.

The English 'axiom' comes from the Latin /axioma/; the French is /le 
axiome/.  'Standard' is a bit trickier; in French, the terms I'm 
thinking of are /la norme/, /le critère/; there are probably others that 
I've missed.  If that doesn't help, any Spanish terms that would be 
something like 'etandarde' or 'estandarde' *may* point you in the right 
direction, tho' they might also send you off on a tangent having to do 
with military standards; I really don't know.

I have understood, you call  standards to html, css, xhtml, xml, etc.

that drawing, you said is Euclidean geometry, is a standard, if you dont
know.  And if you know is Euclidean geometry, then you know how many years
it has.


I can answer that one, since I am a mathematician. All of the modern 
formulas
of Physics assume that the world is Non-Euclidean. Spherical geometry, or
rather ellipsoidal, is more like it. Relativity would not work if the 
universe
was Euclidean, because Euclidean geometry implies a straight 3-dimensional
universe.

Therefore, your base assumption that Euclidean geometry is a standard, 
is false.

All conclusions drawn from this are also therefore, false.

You have just proven that you are not to be taken seriously.

Guards! Take the brat away.
