Corpus-Paul

["Mesfin Atlaye" <mesfin AT idirect.com>]

Thanks Zeb. But I think you misunderstood my point. I have already sent
Daniel off list how I can help him personally in his inquiry. Billy Evans
kindly offered help by pointing to the local libraries. Chris while
addressing Daniel he used academic jargon "Pauline". It is a common mistake
I too share. So my post was only to point out how often we wrongly assume
even junior high's share our academic language. So, really it has nothing to
do with lowering the bar.

cheers!
