Sumerian. Definitely Sumerian.

Actually, as an American, I was not aware that "minimized" with a z was
the official spelling in Queen's English. I knew about the "colour"
thing.

It's not too smart to complain to a group of people that give YOU this renderer for
free. Please do not screw it up for the rest of us by ticking them off, because it
would be an awful shame it I would not be able to further use Pov-Ray because it
requires money which I don't redily have.

Hi, Chuck. You may want to set your Netscape browser to retrieve more
recent messages than the one you've replied to from 1998. From my
observations in these newsgroups, message threads much older than a few days
without further response are considered 'old news'.

I wasn't complaining. I was just thinking out loud. Actually, I DO use
minimize with a z. Never thought about it before.

Well I'm English, and I spell some of them with an S, things like
organisation, it annoys me to see that with a Z. But I don't
think I'd go to the trouble of complaining about it.
I do much prefer colour though it could be argued that color is
closest to the original as languages such as Spanish use it, and
they're much closer to Latin than English is these days. Anybody
know what colour is in Latin?

The whole point of this now over hashed thread is spell it any way you
like but don't send an email to Chris Cason complaining about how he spells
it. If you do you may become the next intense focal point for a similar
thread and it is not an enviable position to be in.
Let it go !

Hi, Ken. This thread is old news. That's why I didn't make any mention of
it in my earlier post to Chuck. It's been hashed and re-hashed ad nauseum.
It's history, bygones.
I'm setting Agent to filter this thread. Good luck to you if you choose to
stick around, Ken! Later.
