HTML as a language

[JOSEPH E. LAFERRIERE]

>> I shall gladly pay you $10 if you can write a plant description entirely
>> in HTML or translate one of Shakespeare's sonnets into the "language."

>You can find about 2000 plant descriptions in HTML at
>     http://biodiversity.uno.edu/delta/www/data.htm
>Some contain quotations from Shakespeare, for example, the description of
>the Cruciferae under 'Flowering plants - families'.

I looked up your website. What I saw on my screen was in
English. I did not see any HTML printed there. It
is possible that HTML was used to instruct the coputer
whatfonts to use, etc., but not one single word of this
appeared on the screen, not was any of it used in the
descriptions.
   My statement stands. I do not owe you the $10.
