Everyone's invited. But the language bar shouldn't be set as low as to
let "ADA" or "MAC" pass uncommented. Rigour is a big plus of this group
and of Ada. Personally I try to say something more than just "it's not
ADA, it's Ada" or some such. But I find just saying that perfectly
justifiable, because it is very likely that someone making the "ADA"
kind of mistake is not prepared to make any technical questions
either--let alone understand the answers.

I really wonder what makes someone write "ADA" instead of "Ada" most of
the times here. The only possible explanation is that (s)he has not
looked at *any* Ada document yet, no? So, if (s)he's making a technical
question, what on Earth can (s)he be expecting?
