Bill,
What you have said does not actually contradict my own statement (and maybe
that wasn't your intention!).
One must not confuse the requirement to draw the instructions up in one of
the languages of the EU with that of then translating the instructions into
the other languages for each terr
All,
I haven't written a Friday Question in some time, so here is a new
installment.
With the exit of Britain for the European Union (Brexit), I find it
interesting but not surprising that English remains one of the official
languages, at least for now. For many years there has been a large body
Two points:
* EN standards are not 'European Norms', which were/are a very old
set of standards to do with the Coal and Steel Community, a
forerunner of the EU. ENs are 'European Standards'.
* Nominally, 'British English' is used, but since no-one knows exactly
what that is, few peo
Hi John (et al),
I noticed with quite interest your statement on the Euro-English; do you
think that is where it shall go within the next years, eventually ?
I'd appreciate if you would provide us with other (many please) examples

Hello, Gert. In my opinion, there is no 'factually wrong' for British
English. We don't have an 'Academy' as in France. The only thing you
can say about 'I were going to work' is that 'were' is 'contrary to
usage', which is 'was'. Of course, some wordings may be more 'contrary
to usage' than o
Hi John,
Great many thank's ;<)
I will study them and use them for the benefit of standardization.
You must be aware of Internal Regulations 3 (CENELEC) that included some
of your "must", "shall" and similar constructions to use and not use.

On that topic we do differ in opinion.

You have 'yet to see' because you are setting a very high standard. In
your example, 'apparatus' without any qualification (I.e. adjective,
such as 'electronic') means 'all apparatus'. 'Includes... or' is
strictly wrong simply because there are in fact no two cases (like
'apples or pears'). Whe
