1. Grateful to God and all who help me get through a day
2. Grateful there is hope from the frustration of several things
The things that are frustrating me are a double billing from expedia (26 July contacted expedia about this) and not hearing from Taza on what caused us to get ill. I called Taza twice and wrote once but so far have not heard from them. We went to Taza the Saturday after Father's Day. I contacted Taza in June and July.

Simplified English
1. Thank you to God and all who help me get through a day
2. Thank you to efforts such as simplified technical English.
http://www.userlab.com/SE.html should be a good place to go as we work through my STE exercise. Maybe I should write an article about this for STC.

Tax/Salmonella
1. Grateful to God and all who help me get through a day
2. Grateful that I can place unrelated items together in this blog - unrelated, as in salmonella and a link to a class on preparing income tax
A person infected with the Salmonella enteritidis bacterium usually has fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea beginning 12 to 72 hours after consuming a contaminated food or beverage. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without antibiotic treatment. However, the diarrhea can be severe, and the person may be ill enough to require hospitalization.

1. Grateful to God and all who help me get through a day
2. Grateful that I can put together unrelated items in this blog
Simplified English is a controlled language originally developed for aerospace industry maintenance manuals. It offers a carefully limited and standardized subset of English.
Proponents claim that Simplified English can:
* Reduce ambiguity
* Improve comprehension for people whose first language is not English
* Make human translation easier, faster and more cost effective
* Facilitate computer-assisted translation and machine translation
Simplified English has a lexicon of approved words and those words can only be used in certain ways. For example, the word close can be used in the phrase "Close the door" but not "do not go close to the landing gear".
Simplified English is sometimes used as a generic term for a controlled language. The aerospace standard is actually an industry-regulated writing standard for aerospace maintenance documentation. It is not intended for use as a general writing standard. The US government’s Plain English[1] lacks the strict vocabulary restrictions of the aerospace standard, but it represents an attempt at a more general writing standard.
The regulated aerospace standard has been called AECMA Simplified English, because the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA) originally created the standard in the 1980s. The AECMA standard originally came from Fokker, which had based their standard on earlier controlled languages, especially Caterpillar Fundamental English. In 2005, AECMA was subsumed by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD), which renamed its standard to ASD Simplified Technical English or STE. STE is defined by the specification ASD-STE100, which is maintained by the Simplified Technical English Maintenance Group (STEMG). The standard contains a set of restrictions on the grammar and style of procedural and descriptive text. It also contains a dictionary of roughly 1000 approved general words. Writers are given guidelines for adding technical names and technical verbs to their documentation. STE is mandated by several commercial and military specifications that control the style and content of maintenance documentation.
