I think your Mormon bias is showing. :-) DAVEH:  It always does!    (And I've never failed to admit it.....I just wonder if those I chat with recognize their own.)       :-) Why assume that he must be inspired in order to place the proper punctuation? DAVEH:  You are right DavidM.....sometimes it can be accomplished with scholarship, and failing that a good guess may even be right at times.      All that would be needed is a good knowledge of both languages. DAVEH:  Even having that.....the translator cannot read the mind of the author. Nevertheless, a little inspiration might not hurt. :-) DAVEH:   I take my last comment back.  With inspiration, the translator can read the mind of the author.    :-) Peace be with you.
