in thread Doubt in level acquired by some saints !!!

For anyone who's ever had to deal with mapping ontologies, you'll find that there are problems when one language makes a distinction about two similar concepts, and the one you're mapping from doesn't.

This doubt/question one is a fairly common Indian -> English example. There are also languages that don't differentiate between blue/green, and sometimes, languages are missing words entirely (how long did it take before the concept of '0' caught on?)

Anyway, to keep this on topic -- both '0' and high level with minimal posting -- even with 4 postings, RavingGoat hasn't managed to catch up to khayos, who hasn't ever posted. There was a thread a while back, where someone had some 'score' with xp/posts, or something like that, but I can't find it.

    Very true, but this does seem to happen fairly not infrequently (I know merlyn has noted it as well). Hopefully someone will see this and get that there is a difference and their English will be however slightly improved.
