No, no, he wants to leverage a synergy. :-)

| Liase is a back-formation from liaison. Our English friends use it a
lot in colloquial speech. I've never heard a native American speaker
use it. It is used as a regular verb I would guess, as in liased, liasing,
etc.

| > native American speaker
are we talking about Cherokee or Apache or Navajo here?
as far as I can tell, the language you are using, despite a few centuries
of denial (this is not a river near Egypt) , is an
approximation to the one called English.

| Going further down the rathole---I knew as soon as I used the term
"native American speaker" that I would hear back about my use of that
phrase. I was referring to someone who speaks American as their native
language, as opposed to somene who speak English as their native
language. To avoid the ambuguity I could have said a "speaker of
American" or some such. I realize too that the idea that there is an
American language is also controversial. SO perhaps I could have said
a "speaker of English from America". WHew.

The terms are usually: British English or just English for that collection
of dialects used in the British Isles.
American English for those dialects and regional
variations in the USA. Alas the term English is
also used there to distinguish it from Spanish, ...

Hey! stick to Winston's original quotation and use "divided" - less
chance of spelling errors :-)

| Ok, Ok, I let you all teach me how to 'do' grammar and spelling, if you
all will let me teach you how to *read*.
I'm up to my arse with HP and Sun telling my customer that we
(DEC/Digital/DIGITAL - open your other ratholes here) will not have
Sybase as a Tier 1 port going forward, 'cos Gartner said so'. And,
unless I can get a plausible answer, they march off with the sale..
In my 'small' sector (Investment banks), they use Sybase. Period.
feel free to check spelling and grammar. try selling too....

Do you have another question?
