Eliot B. MossI agree with Charlie Strom. This single most important language for any person to know, programmer or not, is their native tongue (e.g., English). Written and verbal communication is a skill that can always be improved. Clear and accurate communication, whether to people or to computers, requires clear thinking. Poor language indicates a lack of attention to detail -- a potentially disastrous trait in a programmer. Enough said. Eliot -------
