Who says I was getting at Anotoly? Unless the English language has changed without my knowledge, you'll find that "idiots" and "names" are plural and not singular.
That's a perfectly valid argument, in the same way that this is perfectly valid code: # utils.py import math math.pi = 3.159 SECONDS_PER_MINUTE = 60 def minsec(sec): global SECONDS_PER_MINUTE SECONDS_PER_MINUTE+=2 return sec//SECONDS_PER_MINUTE, sec%SECONDS_PER_MINUTE def format_time(sec): min,sec = minsec(sec) return "%02d:%02d"%(sec,min) It's all perfectly legal Python, but it breaks all sorts of conventions, and you know it. In the context of this thread, it was obvious to everyone what you were saying, and hiding behind the technicality of plurality doesn't help you. Do please be honest with yourself and us. ChrisA
