Therefore provinding less clues to the user of this language.<br /><br />Granted, you selected somewhat less ambiguous examples.<br />Yet from a logical point of view it is doubtful to see all supposed causes and effects as relevant implications.<br /><br />Please correct me if I'm wrong, I might have overlooked something important here. <br />My only motive is improvent.<br />So if you can correct me here it will serve the same goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
