While I would like to strongly endorse simplicity and regularity, not only for my own use but to ease the learning curve for all the generations to come, my recent inactivity (~3 yrs.) must significantly undercut my support. I am just sorry that these proposals were not made earlier. With fewer speakers, a much smaller investment to erase, I would have shouted long and hard that such simplicity and regularity are supposed to be the hallmarks of a "logical language". Of course, I have yet to read the counterarguments. They might swing me around 180 degrees, or they might just strengthen my resolve. thank you all, Arthur Protin Arthur Protin STANDARD DISCLAIMER: The views expressed are strictly those of the author and are in no way indictative of his employer, customers, or this installation.
