As well a lot of science words are greek or latin. Now to be true full English or any other language that science is writen in will contain Greek and latin in places. Also all science groups I know on internet chat in English as it is the most comon languages world wide. Of course if another language would get world wide and bigger than English then it would replace English as the most common language used in science. I dont say that people who use german here sould get into trouble for using it. But they must understand that a few people might get upset(Ie they can not read it so dont understand what in hell it means). I wish that a I knew where to get a freeware language Translator as I can read german with a help of a german to english dictory. I had to do one year of a language at my school and the only one offered was german(ie I only know the basics no more). I would guess there are a lot of people from canda, U.S.A, Austalia and England who can only read and write in one language. Between these so call English languages there are parts that dont match. These difference are tolorance but a tolorance of what you can not read is slim. pcdolding -- _____ _____ / \ / \ | () () | pdolding@metz.une.edu.au | () () | \ ^ / ___ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \ ^ / ||||| | |__| \_/ | | | \_/ ||||| ||||| |___ | \ | |___ |___| _/ \_ |||||
