Surely a shade harsh? And a pedant might claim that PAL, NTSC, and SECAM are
colour encoding systems, and as such independent of frame rate. Not to
mention the fact that Fowler prefers "recognize" to "recognise", and claims
that "synthetize", not "synthesize" is the correct formation.

Oh right, so you have to know what you're talking about if you're going to
post to 9fans? If that were the case, then I'd certainly never ... ah, I see
