As I said: my English is much worse than I > thought :-( Well, don't be too critical of your English. English, like Perl, can readily be written in easy-to-misinterpret ways. (This is why some very young programmers sometimes mistakenly think that English evolved from Perl. :-) In the original context of the first posted solution and rather dismissive reply and subsequent posted solution and subsequent reply that preceded your 1st post on this thread, I had to read that last reply twice before I realized what was intended. Another reason for this initial misunderstanding is that "Your salary is not 2 cents at all." is expressed as a negation and also switches/distorts the original sense/context of the "2 cents worth" idiom/metaphor in a way that is often used for sarcastic remarks--e.g. with the implication that your salry might be worth, say, 3 cents. This is similar to what is known as "damning with faint praise"--i.e. giving such little praise (or giving praise so indirectly) that the conventional implication is that one does not really intend to give any praise at all. Even for native English users, for purposes of clear communication it is generally much better to say "Ruby is very good" rather than "Ruby is not bad at all". -- Conrad Schneiker (This note is unofficial and subject to improvement without notice.)
