I appreciate everything you're doing to promote Ada, but I wish you'd learn that
the English word is "standard".
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
A company that did Ada validations (or whatever they're called now) also had a
C++ validation suite. No "C++" compiler vendor ever asked to have its compiler
validated, and no "C++" compiler they tested ever passed. I don't know if that's
still true, but AFAIK you can't get a C++ compiler--that is, a compiler that
implements the complete ISO-standard language.
