Languages

The list language is English, but if you are a non-native English speaker please don't let that stop you. Many list members write bad English but it doesn't matter, even very bad English is easy to understand. Use the language translation programs on the Web if you like, they're not very good sometimes, but again it doesn't matter. The list is not just for the "Western English-speaking males" who mostly populate the Internet, it is for everyone, with a special interest in the "3rd World" countries of the Global South.

One of the advantages of English is that it can be understood when spoken (or written) _badly_. Many other languages are not so fortunate.

That applies to you, no? It's obviously not easy for you, thanks for taking the trouble to make the effort.

I don't know about anyone else, but I had no trouble reading your message. I think anyone should be able to read it quite easily.

Slow reading, but I was able to get through it.

A couple of years ago my father had a small stroke. The only lasting effect has been to his handwriting. He's a doctor, so his handwriting was bad enough already, and now it's practically illegible, but I can usually puzzle through it.

Kirk McLoren sent me this a while back:

"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer waht oredr the ltteers of a wrod are in, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

Could you read that?

Midori just read it without any difficulty at all, and she's Japanese, not a native-English speaker. She thought it was very funny. So do I. So much for spelling, eh? No need.

This is why anagrams can be so interesting.

But I should help you with this:

TANSTAAFL - There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.

And somewhere out there Robert A. Heinlein, peace be upon him, is smiling.
