He is wrong when he thinks to himself that the       use of the word "Persian" to refer to a person is archaic. Persian _is_ an       ethnicity. There are Persians        and non-Persians in Iran, so the national name, Iranian, does not map one to       one with Persian. Persian is also a language, part of the Iranian language       family.       > >        > > And Persian cats are beautiful.       > >        > > --        > > Will in New Haven       >        > Amazon doesn't show me an easy way to enter a book under a pseudonym. Mr.       Burton is a co-author on DOMINIONS, so the search should work under either       name.              The publisher I work for has similar problems with Amazon. In many cases, they       say they do X because "that is what our algorhythms do" and no human       intervention can help.              >        > Al is a Grumpy Old Man like me, and often says or thinks things that he       knows are inaccurate or inappropriate. Particularly under stress, as he is in       that passage.              I would have thought he was being untruthful except that, from what I       remember, it was in his thoughts and not something he said.              By the way, I am a little over halfway through and it is really good.                     --        Will in New Haven              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
