I think it is a useful document, though it reflects the intent of one BPFKJ (Nick) who is no longer active. Robin can and has strayed from that document in time past. E.g. the concordance tool that Nick talks about doesn't actually exist (we make do with web search and command-line IRC log search tools). Also, Nick's suggestion that "all representative usage" be documented must be taken with a grain of salt; for instance, an index of all usages of "le" would be less than useless. -- Arnt Richard Johansen http://arj.nvg.org/ Så mange ord som mulig per gram var utvelgelsesgrunnlaget da bøkene skulle plukkes ut. --Erling Kagge: Alene til Sydpolen
