Yes, indeed, sometimes misunderstandings and misinterpretations between native
and nonnative speakers can yield a dispute here unwanted by both parts
completely. And there are other differences between the members of this still
wonderful community yielding different interpretations of  - or different
feelings to - the same word. E.g. the word "death" will yield other emotions to
a former  soldier, who risked his own life, than to a former male nurse, who had
to carry away the bodies of  some hundred adolescents died from leukaemia.

May be Posfan12 has overlooked the explanation of the for-loop (which is
possible if he uses Windows 8, the POV help workes not really good with Windows
8) or he has not much experience with computer sciences. Imagine that you have
never learned about a for-loop so far. That is hard to imagine, but possible.

BTW: I don't think that anyone want's to slay you, James. What has a fish
(mackarel) to do with that?

Best regards,
