Eduard, Might I ask a little about your background and what you teach? My first reaction to your comments was that I thanked heaven I did not have you for a teacher. The impression I received is that you are super excessively focused on errors, finding them even where most members of this list probably would not. Would you really have commented on that "for" as an error in a student's paper? Thanks, Ed >>> [log in to unmask] 3/1/2006 7:21:31 AM >>> Herb: Thank you! You are very nice to me.
