style='font-family:Arial;color:red'> is now added to the OS space. Jorie is
publishing the Chinese version of “The User’s Guide,” and her questions about
the meaning of “right” (as in, “Whoever comes is the right people.”) tickled my
onion (made me smile). Idiomatic language is devilishly hard to translate, and
I suspect idiomatic (colloquial) English is the worst offender. My first
reaction was to say something like, “all of the above,” but I knew that would
create endless confusion and get me in a world of trouble. So I opted for “right”
= “appropriate.” Sounded good to me. What do you think?</span></font></p>
