Comment:

 Replying to [[span(style=color: #FF0000, AntC )]]:\\
 I already know that. But your explanations, here and even above, lack
 precision and technicality. You should have said:\\

 {{{
 In Haskell, every expression must have a type, which is calculated
 prior to evaluating the expression by a process called "type
 inference".
 Graham Hutton, page 22, Chap 3, Types and classes.
 }}}
 I got the wrong word by writing evaluate instead of calculated.
 I do not speak the English language well.
 And sometimes I don't use the right words in my sentences.\\
 But you also have to make an effort to understand.\\
 Despite my lack of English language I make a lot of effort to read
 the best books about the Haskell language that are written in
 English.
 As you can see I also have other books about the Haskell language
 written by Hudak, Wadler, Bird.\\
 I still get to understand what they are saying.\\

 My sentences are sometimes poorly built and give the impression of
 dealing with a kid.
 But that is not true.
 I was already programming computers that you were not born yet.\\

 Some of your writings have hurt me.
 * It is true I do not have the knowledge that you have of the Haskell
 language.\\
 * I no longer have the age to write programs.\\
 * Don't talk about my intellect. You don't know him.\\
 * And you're the first one to tell me that I'm wasting your time.\\
 One more thing:\\
 I want this ticket closed by a member of the current Committee.
