To Jeroen and interested minds, re. Tiger node count

[chrisw]

Cooperate? Also in German the term of choice. Collaborate is for a French clearly intentional an allegation especially to a Dutch. All IMO. Also French would say cooperer. American English might be different.

I find it hilarious that a non native English speaker who on numerous occasions has defended his incorrect usage of the English language due to an admitted lack of English mastery is now lecturing a native English speaker on English. In fact Chris W is quite correct; in English the word collaborate, by itself, has no negative connotation.

Blabla. I dont teach or lecture a native English speaker like ChrisW, I only said that ChrisW for certain also knew of the sisitivity of the Dutch because of that history and hence the word itself. I cant judge how and if and when what means in English. So sorry, that was a waste of time from your side. You should have better remained in CTF. <g> Wait till I'll be back, then I'll give you hell. <g>

Perhaps then you can explain your statement:

The word [collaborate] is basically meaning the ugly thing called traitor of his own people's honor perhaps even to get rich by that strategy.

Sounds like teaching English to me. And I find it especially funny since it is soooo wrong. The word collaborate has absolutely no such meaning.

It seems that everyone is trying to turn the conversation to useless things. Christophe has made an interesting proposition (by offering to reveal some secrets about chess tiger) but everybody is focusing on this misunderstanding. All rybka threads seems to be "dialogues of the deaf".

[Tony]

I count 47 posts, excluding this one, devoted to the simple misunderstanding about the meaning of a word.

27 of those occurred after the original offended party accepted the benign interpretation.

Hilarious.

No, typical.
