Well, not really. I was just afraid of loosing my time. I'm not that young
anymore. To be honest, when a learned Basic at Neshaminy High (Langhorne, PA)
back in 1972, I could wait and see, I could try hard and loose, I could start
over and over a million times that I'd have the strength to do it.
At this very moment I could lay down and rest. My job is done, there's not much
more to do. I'm pretty satisfied. Then I knew through a country fellow (Davi
Figueiredo) that he was using a new language called Euphoria that could run
apps on three major platforms. It was like a sting. How come I've never heard
of such language. I got curious. I'm still curious. I just don't want to get
disappointed. That's it.
To make use of this list as you mentioned is okay for you but it's not that
much easy if you are not a true born English speaking person. As I told you
before, my English is from the early seventies when most of you were unborn.
There's also jargons that are unusual or just unintelligible to me. That's why
I personally (and many others, I'm sure) need a book so badly. Maybe I just
don't want to be a pain in the ass (if you know what I mean)...
I respect you and your judgement Euman. I know you're an expert. I can see your
enthusiasm when you talk on Euphoria. I'd like to have a tenth of your skills.
If you and people like you could put what you know on a book then you'll become
part of Euphoria history. Nothing is more important than sharing knowledge. The
difference in doing it as a book is as simple as: do you know of a person that
learned English by joining an English list? I think no. But of course you know
persons that improved their English by just joining English speaking list of
any kind -- including me!
Cheers! (I'm a lot happier now -- nothing better that a good nigh sleep)
