Re^5: Filtering Output from two files

Lakh is not really a standard English word!

Maybe you should show some efforts in programing AND your communication skills?

So yeah :p

Lakh is not a standard (update: or even familiar) Brit/Yank English word, but is perfectly cromulent Indian English. (And when you consider that there may be more speakers of Indian English as a first/second language than there are B/Y first language speakers... :) P.S.: And yes, it would be nice to see some code!

Cromlulent English? OMG, and I also did not know lakh, I'm afraid I'll never master English well enough. :(	[reply]

Standard English means (at least for me) being understood world wide. I'd also complain about any Texan, Geordie or Outback slang. And yes I knew lakh already, I don't see the point in obliging most readers here to look it up in a dictionary.

Standard English means ... being understood world wide. Basic English was an interesting effort along these lines, and apparently still survives in some forms. Unfortunately, any language standardization effort (update: and Basic English was, I think, primarily intended as a teaching tool) is up against the fact that all languages continually evolve. So we may all be talking about "lakhs of this-and-that" in ten or twenty years. (And it occurs to me to wonder about the relationship, if any, between the words "lakh" and "lot", as in "lots of something." Hmm... Something else to look up...)
