[Q]I don't know if you're aware of my Lorem and More extension. [/Q]

I did not see anything written in Japanese. Do you have something on the
order of Natsume Souseki (????), for example? It is on about the same level of
difficulty for native Japanese speakers, as modern Shakespeare is for native
English speakers. In particular, I would like to see a passage from ????!

Roddy :smile;

P.S. Natsume Souseki was one of several Japanese authors who traveled to the
UK under Japanese government sponsorship during the Meiji Reformation. He
suffered miserably. This is not the reason that I am recommending him though.

as modern Shakespeare is for native English speakers.

This is a contradiction in terms.

and from another of your interminable posts in this thread:

Of course, Brits and Americans may have a different take on this
matter, but I doubt it.

Kindly refrain from the term "Brits" in this public forum. While in itself
it is not necessarily derogatory, from you frankly, it is unacceptable.

Not in the United States it isn't. If it were not for the modern versions of
Shakespeare that are on the market today, it is unlikely that he would even be
read -- let alone performed on stage.

[q]and from another of your interminable posts in this thread:[/q]

If you mean that I latch onto posts that are of particular interest to me,
then the word "interminable" is appropriate. Have you ever tried to expand a
SPRY horizontal menu bar across an entire div container that was accessible to
everyone. Did it work? Please help to bring an end to my misery.

If, on the other hand, you mean that I encourage long posts that stray from
their original intent, then I find this word objectionable.

[q]>Of course, Brits and Americans may have a different take on this matter,

Kindly refrain from the term "Brits" in this public forum. While in itself it
is not necessarily derogatory, from you frankly, it is unacceptable.[/q]

That you acknowledge that it is not derogatory is a credit to your good
person. Did I say that?
What I do not understand is why I should be treated any differently?

Should we not be moving forward with more substantive issues?

I fear you do many of your fellow-Americans an injustice. Were it taught, as
in England, in schools, the original Shakespeare would have the chance of
being appreciated.

Good God no, I have DW8 and PVII products - which alleviates a great deal of
misery.

Your two statements here in response to my word "interminable" and go a long
way to proving my point
:

from

are not consistent I'm afraid.

That you acknowledge that it is not derogatory is a credit to your good

Thank you but I said "not necessarily" derogatory.

What I do not understand is why I should be treated any differently?

Because you choose to be.
