Thanks for that Clarissa. I shall read the references mentioned.

However, I cannot at the moment see the relevance of your argument to what is quite obviously a sentence by the poster that makes no sense in any form.

Any serious effort in case of Zhang and his/her likes are not in place.

"not in place" ?. Whilst I may be able to guess what he is trying to say, should I have to when the writer is a self proclaimed genius ?, (two PhDs) plus a host of English language qualifications (he says). His lofty position he feels, entitles him to point out the most minor of infractions, usually typos, on the part of others yet he can't string a few words together in a legible grammatical form.

It is said that those who cannot do, teach. His was a good example I would suggest, of non performance.
