Subject:RE: regarding the pardoning of her french From:"diotima" <diotima -at- myway -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Sun, 15 Aug 2004 12:26:12 -0400 (EDT)
i wrote a response to the list, but apparently i was supposed to delete part of the email i was replying to (?) and so it bounced back. the returned message said that my original response was "below," but it was not. and i don't have a copy of my response, so unless it comes back to me somehow, i guess my response is lost forever. and i really don't feel like writing it again. lucky break for nosnivel, i guess.

Subject: regarding the pardoning of her french
<br>I think that the use of "a la" to mean "in the manner of",<br>outside such complete French phrases as "a la mode" and<br>"a la carte", is shoddy. I wouldn't expect to see it in<br>technical writing.<br><br><br>Mark L.
