Dear Luc,



yes, it seems the definition of the time span called "this" is the crucial
thing. I think the scots got it! -- But now I am very curious as to the Turk
thing about locations. What do they do with their prepositions?! Can you
tell me?



Hoping you will never be hit into the back by any unpleasant future! A
friendly tap on the shoulder by a good time, that would be the thing.

PS: No doubt that the perception of time plays a very important role in
culture (look at my other message ~ the Greek & fate, the Indians and number
0...). Describing a location is just as important however (look at how Turks
deal with prepositions)...
