That may be true of English, but is it true of all languages? The Academie Francaise tries to tell the world what is correct in French; I don't know how many people listen to them. I imagine that during the unifications of Germany and Italy the governments took a fairly strong line on grammar. And what about China? I guess the push to Mandarin comes with fairly strong sanctions. I saw the other day that the government there is trying to ban the use of English words. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
