comment on brian's paper

This paper was good. It addressed most of the issues affiliated with the IFS. However, a trend in this essay was that you tended to ramble on for breif periods. There were also several gramatical errors that need to be fixed.

Guido,

Give brian an example of rambling, so he can actually change it. Criticizing without specifying is destructive - it's like telling a bass player that he sounds too melodic and not rhythmic enough - you're just going to make him insecure without helping him improve.

Also, be extra careful when criticizing other people's errors not to repeat same, in the same paragraph - but its all good between friends.

I was going to suggest the "i before e except after c" rule for breif, then I came across this list. No wonder everyone has a hard time with English rules -

beige, cleidoic, codeine, conscience, deify, deity, deign,
dreidel, eider, eight, either, feign, feint, feisty,
foreign, forfeit, freight, gleization, gneiss, greige,
greisen, heifer, heigh-ho, height, heinous, heir, heist,
leitmotiv, neigh, neighbor, neither, peignoir, prescient,
rein, science, seiche, seidel, seine, seismic, seize, sheik,
society, sovereign, surfeit, teiid, veil, vein, weight,
weir, weird
