My vote would be a -0 right now, strongly leaning towards a veto - on principle.
I object on (at least) 3 points: - This is a solution looking for a problem; a waste of everyone's time. - Enforced language rules will raise the bar for entry, especially for non-native speakers. It's hard enough most of us to even write English, let alone having to worry about which dialect to use. Even the fact that there is such a distinction will be beyond most - even native speakers. - This endless discussion will only lead to more endless discussions, as there is nothing as contentious as "correct" language use ... should I have used single quotes? Do we avoid fancy words like "contentious"? Was the use (twice!) of "endless" really necessary, or did it only add to the passive/aggressive nature of this sentence? How about that ellipsis, did I use that correctly? Should I have capitalized (capitalised?) the "should" right after the ellipsis? etc. etc. EdB -- Ix Multimedia Software Jan Luykenstraat 27 3521 VB Utrecht T. 06-51952295 I. www.ixsoftware.nl
