Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

Thank you very much. You had made no claims on academic status of which I am aware. It was the author of the otherwise excellent paper to which you provided a link that I referred. Sorry, one of my pet peeves is mystery acronyms. Unless you are certain your product is addressing only a known audience, provide a clue.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

To be fair, I think they were expecting to be addressing a known audiance who would know exactly what it meant. But this is a conversation they should be having with the wider public as well as among themselves, and while most NZers, Scots and Welsh would likewise understand, a key audiance they should be talkign to - the English - probably have no clue still.
