...what does it matter with you...you say one thing them say you didn't. When I first suggested to you that your spelling of that most unfortunate word asn't even phonetic but seemed more derrogatory than anything...and shopwed you, slowly, a better spelling, you responded that I didn't understand...then too...you said the people funding the project or working with you on it were Jews who wouldn't appreciate any changes...if you said that and I got it right, I apologize and take back what you said.

..of course it is..if you had to make a living from anything "Assyrian" you do, you's starve to death. Being an Assyrian is also a hobby.

The reason I told you for not changing the name of the Peshitta, is because that's the way it is spelled in dictionaries and encyclopedias dating to the 16th century.

...I always thought of you as one who was stuck in the 16th century...such a nice time.

It's not up to me to come up with a different spelling - I'm just a lay person, not a scholar of any sorts.

..it isn't up to you to do anything that matters anywhere...especially not as a profession. I like that, being Christian is a hobby.

I just happen to know how to read and write ancient Aramaic.

...so what? You speak English and it doesn't make you a Londoner either.

...mine.

Akkadian is long dead and nobody except people who study it in universities knows it any longer. I certainly don't. Our ancestors dropped it and made Aramaic the lingua-franca of the Assyrian empire because it is far easier than Akkadian, which is a very complex language with 600+ characters.

....Chinese has 5000...nobody dropped it to run after a Jew.

...I learned it from you, I cannot tell a lie.

...I am pleased to see you cut it short.
