er, i thought it was a jungle gym...
To get back to the subject, i think that most people don't realize the
range of expression that's available in the English language or the subtleties
of our inflection system.

than seeing your face"--Laurie Anderson 1983
Not necessarily my opinion, but *someone* had to say it:)
First one to tell me who already said it in this conference wins a...
a... ummm... Oh, poop! I'll think of something... <sigh>

Well, William S. Burroughs already said it, does that count? >8)

Thanks, Robert! I had totally forgotten about William S. Burroughs.
He certainly counts (even though I'll bet he's not in this conference =>

Looked like a flow chart, a dinosaur from the times of Assembly and
Fortran. Psuedo code is used now.

There is a discussion in Item 27 of coop about a proposal to make Grex
conferences open to reading on the WEB without requiring readers to open
Grex accounts (called "anonymoous web reading of conferences"). An
argument in favor of doing this is that it could attract new participants
in conferencing after readers get a taste of what it is like. If you have
an opinion on this with regard to this conference, let us know: if you
have a opinion with regard to any other conference, you might start a
discussion of it there. In any case, you can read all sides of the issue
in coop item 27.

No. I am not familiar with languages from that part of the world at all.
I am curious about all languages, though.

Sorry for not visiting this conf for a long time.
OK, raoa, "Bahasa Malaysia/Melayu" - Malay Language is the language
spoken by us Malaysian . "Selamat Datang " is our way of saying welcome.
Other examples:
Terima Kasih - Thank you
Sama-sama - You're welcome
I'll try to give other examples from time to time.
email me if u want to know some more.

You might want to start a Malay item - just for those writing Malay or
those interested in language. What are the roots of Malay?

I thought of doing that, but i wonder how many people in grex know or
ever heard of the language. Maybe we can start it somehow.
You can usually find Malay people in South East Asia- mainly in Malaysia and
few nieghbouring countries like Indonesia and Brunei althought they are
not called Malaysian. Theses three group basically have some similarity
in they language. Probably that's why Steve thought that when I first used
the phrase "Selamat Datang" as an Indonesian language.
