Thanks Dennis,

It isn't my first language either (I started learning English in the 5th grade in India). I have seen this language before, and like Rachel said, it is more of a philosophical trouble.

I used similar language in precisely 3 (company internal) emails (waay back in 1993) before my manager called me in his office and explained that if I wish to be a better programmer/analyst/what-ever-that-I wish-to-be I need to be clear in my thoughts, when I speak and when I write.

I still think it is a valuable advise.

At-least I am not the only one ...

Happy New Year Everyone ...
Raj

Raj - I go through episodes where I get pretty frustrated with the cryptic language, but then I take a deep breath and remember that for some people English isn't their first language. Also, I think text messages on cell phones are changing the way many people deal with English.

I also get irritated with people who won't post their names. It is hard to reply to an anonymous person. But then I recall that I previously worked for a company that wouldn't let me post to newsgroups. It would be easier if people would pick a nom de plume that was more human, like "Joe Smith".
