My "verdyism" is limited to my knowledge of English. I'm not an English
native speaker, what makes sense for me may sometime be ambiguous for you.
Don't think you should attempt to take the meaning of each word isolately,
if this is the wrong term, if this looks wrong for you...
I have never criticized native English speakers on the Unicode Africa
mailing list for using some bad French, as I appreciate their effort to be
understood. So please correct yourself, but don't send public personal
insults...
