I respectfully disagree. The native speakers of Hebrew and English that I know are the least educated in the usage of those languages. It is the immigrants who really study the language. That said, the Russians do seems to be very well learned of their language. Any question I have on Russian language the average Russian can explain. > And native > speakers are much more likely to be au fait with current usage. > With this part I agree. If you want the fine manual to read like the current slang or hip hop song, then a native speaker is far preferable to a learned immigrant. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
