- I am reluctant to comment at any length on Robert Braham's translation
- of the Afrikaans message I accidentally sent privately instead of
- publicly. No human tongue will ever be the same again. I feel that at
- such a solemn moment a privileged band of scholars such as we should
- be silent as we witness what caused it all. We, brothers, were there
- and saw it happen.
-
- I only wish that I had not mis-spelled the word "oordeel" as
- "orrdeel". This was a typing error. One can only blench at the
- consequences. Truly, as it is said, "Agt-en-tagtig harde aartappels
- rol op 'n ronde bord".
-
- The rest is silence.
