First, I should apologize for a bit of deception on my part. I checked 
Wikipedia first, and I confused square miles for km2. I originally thought 
that Lake Superior had more surface area than England, Scotland, and Wales 
combined. Gene pointed out that I had made an error, but instead of 
admitting it, I used a lack of specificity in my original statement to 
support it anyway.

The point I was trying to make is that English is the "Lingua Franca" for 
global technical treatise, and that the "proper" way to use it in this 
venue is to keep the grammar simple and avoid idioms.

I do enjoy your manner of speaking, because it reminds me of several of my 
favourite college professors who hailed from the UK. When I read your 
postings, I can almost hear the accent.
