(I'm not a native speaker of English, but this seems wrong grammatically...)

It's certainly wrong ... but whether it was a grammatical error or a typographical error could well be a moot point :-)

I don't think this proposal is a good idea... (or should it be "I do think this proposal is not a good idea"...? ;)

Heh ... nice point. In terms of "usage" there's no (or little) difference. But in terms of "logic" your question confuses the crap out of me.

Cheers,
Rob

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
