Hi dear Ken,

my answer to you was certainly not meant as a personal attack, and I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to launch any personal attack against you. So I'm really sorry if you perceived it as an attack. And I certainly did not want to be arrogant either, I'm really sorry again if I appeared to be.

I really did not presume to instruct you to do anything, nor to teach any lesson. My only factual point was that "whole numbers" may not mean exactly the same thing to everyone, especially to people whose mother tongue is not English. At least, the Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese people (and probably a number of others) use the literal translation of "whole number" into their own language to render the English (or Latin) word "integer," including in highly technical computer science writings.

I am really sorry if my post was poorly worded, I did not think it was, but, you know, English is not my mother tongue, so I may goof from time to time despite my best efforts.
