The list could conceivably include the rest of the world according to the way you appear interpret Susan's message! (Now wouldn't the French just love it if that were true!!!) << That's assuming the French care or are carefully scanning ESL listservs <G>! >>Of course we place value judgements all the time as human beings dear Jane .That doesn't mean that all must agree to every statement issued on this site. If we have to be careful of opining on this site than I predict that the conversation will soon dry up. << I agree with the general idea you bring up, but have you been following the discussion about censorship on NIFL listservs at all? Not all kinds of opinions are welcome on this listserv and a number of others. Andres's remark addresses just that! Of course one does not have to agree with every statement, but Jane has the same right to express her opinion as you and I do, ours. I personally did not see either messages as praising one in order to demean another language. I think Jean-Christophe is not quite sure what listserv he has joined. I think he might feel he is on an ESOL listserv, to practice his English skills, or to improve them. I could of course be wrong <g> as happens, often. And yes, we do have to be careful of opining on this site. regards Ujwala Samant
