Dear Marius Iacomi,

I agree, entirely. We have to be very careful relating language to
writing or relating language to communities. William of Ockham said
it in a powerful dictum: `Pluralitas non est ponenda sine
necessitas.'(Plurality should not be posited without necessity.) I
have tried to follow this dictum.
