What do you mean by "not in my class"? Also, by saying "I'll put money on a
guess" I was announcing more of a hope and hunch than a sound proof. I think
you should be careful not to immediately jump to telling a student (or other
person) "your point fails" before you find out what they're really saying.
Or at least you could say why YOU think JDS uses "six". This is a discussion
list after all, not a
"this is what I think..."
"Well, you're wrong."
It's also not a "who knows the most about JDS" list either, but an exchange
of ideas.
Just my two cents.
Sincerely,
