Hi, sorry not trying to beat a dead horse here but that is what I was trying to do be as clear as I could. I was onistly not sure witch he was refairing to I had the idea that he already had a box running. So I thought better to be safe respond to both points. Sorry for any trouble I might have caused. I have benefited from your advice in the past ser and wish to continue and if I gave offence I do humbly apologize. When I was asking how I was wrong I onistly did not understand what I had said that was not correct. It was in no way trying to undermined you in any way. Thanks again for all the help in the past and hope it will come in the future. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 5:56 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Information is needed. OK. You can certainly get the other reading out of that statement, but it's an obscure interpretation whereas the interpretation that reads it as "installing LInux" is something we respond to all the time here. So, I'll withdraw my remark about percentage. I do still think it more appropriate to answer the common interpretation, not the rather arcane one that nobody every asks. I think we want to be more than just technically correct, I think we also want to be very clear. This is especially true because we have people here who are not native English speakers. jim grimsby writes: > 1.
