e. e. cummings I'm not. :)  (You're from Spain according to your
email's domain, and you're asking for help with English, so this may be
lsot on you without explanation.  e. e. cummings is a writer who wrote
in English and was known for a lack of capitalization - to the point
that "e. e. cummings" instead of "E. E. Cummings" is the canonical form
of the name.)

I'd say, rather, that it inculcates attitudes about their use
that...may seem surprising to those who have not adopted such
mind-sets.

For example, when I write "Figs are fruit which...", I capitalize the
`f' because "figs" is a plain English word, and English is not
case-sensitive about word identity in almost all cases.  But when I
write "tr is a command which...", I do not capitalize the `t' because
"Tr" is semantically very different from "tr" (as contrasted to the
non-difference between "Figs" and "figs").

As it happens, your direct copy arrived intact, so you can send to me
directly if you want to.

I meant "ping" in the more general sense, in this case referring to a
"do you get this?" email.

Right, rodents.montreal.qc.ca itself does not have any addresses.  Only
machines within it do.

Well, something seems to have worked!

I don't consider myself competent to address this issue.  I have never
really undestood the mindset behind KASSERT, and until this message
hadn't noticed KDASSERT at all.  While I can call out semantic mistakes
when I notice them, I was thinking of myself as more an English touchup
person than a semantic content checker person.
