I hope your are correct, otherwise I am a damned fool for trying to make NGL a better language than English. So far I have convinced myself, and probably no one else, that I have devised a more compact and accurate tense system than English. It's good to hear that at least one other person does believe there is a difference between languages in overall effectiveness. Not all swiss army knives are born equal. But skepticism is easier to support than belief. Gerald Koenig
