À propos Lao word spaces

Hi Sethton!

In reply to your comment on my talk page, I was managing a small joint-venture company in Laos at the time and though a poor speaker of Lao, I was in active contact with the language and systematically reviewed every single official paper and contract, scanning them to check on the essential keywords and thus actively protect myself against the all too common "lost in translation" effect. I can provide quite a number of official documents I have scanned by email to prove my point and assist you in your research if you want.

On a more secondary note, I know for sure at least one content editor (the book editor Big Brother Mouse in Luang Prabang) uses invisible breaking space characters to allow for nicer formatting in their publications. I personally believe that this important constraint for content editors is probably behind the increased use of spacing in Lao. I for myself more or less imposed the use of spaces in drafts to my staff, the idea being that it would make it possible for me to ensure high quality formatting while imposing only minimal grief to my customers (I remember having settled on a half-space to minimise the disruption and my conservative assistant's complaints...).

Hope this helps, Rdavout (talk) 19:06, 26 September 2012 (UTC) PS: Please reply on my talk page.

Intelligent design

You may have notice that your edit was immediately reverted. The anti-ID editors that control the page do not want an unbiased article that lets the facts speak for themselves. They just want an article that reflects their own POV and will not accept anything other. 74.42.222.54 (talk) 16:12, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
