[Taxacom] latin out of botany

[Kim, Cheol-Min]

As to the "and/or" expression, my mathematical understanding of English says that: 

A and/or B = (A + B) or B 


All the very best, Cheol-Min

Dear Donat,

just to clarify, as I read "allow English to replace Latin" in your
mail I understood "english only", while this may have been better
given as is "allow English or Latin" which means
- you can have the diagnosis in english only
- you can have the diagnosis in latin only
- you can have one diagnosis in english and one in latin
in all these three situations your name will be validly published (if
other validating conditions are respected)

und entschuldigung, ich wusste nicht daB ihre Muttersprache war
Schweizerdeutsch
(This is the closest to schwiizertüütsch I can propose :)
