I want to post doubts in VB.
Where can I post my doubts?
For reference, the correct English word is "question."
I'm glad you said something. I'm new here too so anytime I hear something
new I try to go study it. I was ready to fire up VS.NET and look for the
"doubt" keyword. I thought maybe it had something to do with "fuzzy
logic"!
I believe there must be a Hindi word that means both "doubt" and "question,"
and therefore Indians tend to use them interchangably. Before someone starts
screaming "prejudice!" let me state that this is in no way limited to
Indians or their language. I've seen Germans confuse the words "heavy" and
"difficult" because they have one word which means both things. Conversely,
when I was studying German in school I remember people using the wrong
German word because they were trying to use an English word with two
meanings which German had two separate words for. I've just noticed the
doubt/question issue in programming newsgroups more than I've noticed any
other linguistic error.
