You know (this has nothing to do with the original topic) I always thought
there was something 'funny' about the way of addressing people in
inform/infocom. But i never really thought about it... just a vague
feeling... suddenly reading that above sentence it jumps out at me!!
Saying "Frank, hello" seems backwards! I guess in some contexts addressing
a person by thier name first is the most usual conversational method, but
usually (when a person mentions a name at all) isn't it at the end of the
sentence? Such as "Give me the keys, Frank" "Hello, frank" (of course
usually people wouldn't put a comma in there in common use).
Just a thought... meaningless. Sorry. (-:
