I'll read that if I ever manage to find the information I need to
understand it.

So far, I've had not much more than insults and hostilty in response to
my attempts to find out what I need to know to understand the
documentation that you fully informed experts wrote for other fully
informed experts.

If you cannot see an error in the above cut-and-pasted quotation from
your slide, you should visit first your optician and then perhaps a
psychologist if it turns out that there is nothing wrong with your eyes.

Me?  The only Italian /I/ can read it the stuff you find on musical
scores and I've forgotten most of that.  But I know damned well that
`Italia' has a `t' in it.

I think it's not languages you need to learn but politeness and perhaps
a little humility?

infalliability.

Now, if you really don't have anything better to do than snipe and
snarl, please stop sending me your deliberately insulting and upsetting
emails.
