Post #85,943 by tuberculosis 3/6/03 2:21:04 AM Reply	You have two choices Cobble up a bunch of heuristics (not too difficult) or use a dictionary and be sure. There are too many exceptions to expect to get it right otherwise. I'd just do some heuristics. I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customer got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more. --Alan Perlis

At least using the double data-entry approach they can't blame bad plurals on you. Is this internal or external? It might be fun to play with if you have the time, but has too much CYA risks IMO. ________________ oop.ismad.com
