=====================

Dear Professor Michel DeGraff,

You are absolutely right: The "Haitian Times" should be as rigorous in its
Creole spelling as it is in its French and English spelling" and, as a
member
of HT staff (columnist: "Du ct de chez Hugues") and a linguist/creolist, I
should have paid more attention to the Creole spelling used in the paper.

I thank you for your constructive criticism and I assure you that I will
talk
to Garry Pierre-Pierre, the publisher of HT about that.
