I, for one, am sorry your feelings have been hurt. There is never an excuse
for that. What I would suggest in way of response is to point out that
language must by its very nature be very specific and it's use therefor must
also very specific, if we are to get our point across. It is far too easy
to misinterpret ones meaning, if the words used are not used properly. We
learn by programming computers that we must be very specific if our programs
are to work at all,,, and that detailed nature carries over in to our daily
lives.

It does not matter what job you take, the ability to communicate with the
customer is of utmost importance, and we do that throught our use of
language. I do not know if English is your primary language or not, but
most of us are guilty of lacking multilingual capabilities. I am
embarassed everytime I meet someone who is able to speak more than his or
her primary language,,,because for all the knowledge I have,,, I am able to
communicate only in English. But I try to do the best with what I have.

I, too, have had difficulty reading your posts,, but to your credit,,,you
still try and that is the mark of someone who knows what he wants and you
should be commended for that. Keep trying, and just as you learn and grow
in the IS field, your communication skills will also improve.

Good Luck,

Michael C. Rock
