Hello, all

The chief of a computer-science laboratory where my friend works
condemned his usage of the word `several' in the the following
sentence:

  We present several new piecewise-polynomial kernels for image
  interpolation.

on the ground that it is a typical mistake made by those who
learned English in a Russian school. Perhaps I was not sufficiently
diligent in the English classes of my Russian school, but I see no
fault in that sentence, except maybe for a missing introductory
phrase, such as "In this article, we present..." Do you?
