   Hello, all   
      
   The chief of a computer-science laboratory where my friend works   
   condemned his usage of the word `several' in the the following   
   sentence:   
      
     We present several new piecewise-polynomial kernels for image   
     interpolation.   
      
   on the ground that it is a typical mistake made by those who   
   learned English in a Russian school. Perhaps I was not sufficiently   
   diligent in the English classes of my Russian school, but I see no   
   fault in that sentence, except maybe for a missing introductory   
   phrase, such as "In this article, we present..." Do you?
