    ak>> Well, if you have good relations with your office colleges -- why   
    ak>> not? The only thing, I think, you should not confuse them with   
    ak>> very clever or tricky words. I believe the trauma the Anton's   
    ak>> college had got was connected exactly with such a confusion. He   
    ak>> thought so hard on the word "directly" that he struck the door   
    ak>> jamb with his forehead.   
      
    AS> Why, "directly" is a word of which the temporal meaning is   
    AS> obviously straight-forward (the pun intended). I am certain it was   
    AS> used in everyday conversation because Leo Tolstoy makes Nekhlyudov   
    AS> employ it in his excellent late novel "Resurrection", of which the   
    AS> early translations into English omit some very interesing parts,   
    AS> notably Tolstoy's observations on the hypocrisy of sweraring in   
    AS> court upon the Bible -- *the* book that forbits any swearing   
    AS> whatsoever.

    AS> The 1960 Soviet adaptation of the book is as good as can be.   
      
    AS> P.S.: Pray pardon the lack of proper Fidonet quoting. I am   
    AS>       posing from my new Raspberry Pi, to which I have hot   
    AS>       had time to migrate my text-formatting facilities.   
    AS>       Alexander, have you a version of your Protestant... no   
    AS>       Reformator program in the form a Vim module?   
      
   Sorry, I have no deal with Vim.   
      
   Bye, Anton!
