I am confused. Can either Luiz or Naoki help me to
understand? If the reference to a national holiday on
an international list is in itself offensive, such
offenses have been committed and forgiven in the past on this
discussion list. It is usually the case that an offense
was not intended; thus, it could be taken as an invitation
to build a zpd, given a dialogic chance. Or have I
completely missed the point?
