+\subsection*{\TeX{} Users are Bilingual}
+
+Whilst at school and studying for my \scshape cse\upshape 's
+(yes, a long time ago) I tried to learn French. My \scshape cse
+\upshape grade \em unclassified \em suggested I wasn't ever destined
+to be bilingual. But I was not rekoning on \TeX{}.
+
+A recent edition of \em Acorn Publisher \em carried a review of a
+scientific word-processor called \em TechWriter\em . Now let me make
+one thing clear---I \em do not \em own an Acorn machine or run any
+Acorn software. So why was I reading the magazine? Well, a friend
+lent it to me knowing I was interested in this kind of thing. And
+jolly glad I was that I read it, because apparently I speak \em gobbledegook
+\em and I never knew it.
+
+Let me try a little gobbledegook out on you---see if you also speak
+it. Here goes,
+
+\(\backslash\)begin\{quote\}
+
+\(\backslash\)large Hi There! \(\backslash\)\(\backslash\)
+
+\(\backslash\)normalsize Can you direct me to the railway station?
+\(\backslash\)\(\backslash\)
+
+\(\backslash\)end\{quote\}
+
+How did you do? You see, it's easy!
+
+If I believe what I read in \em Acorn Publisher, \em users of these
+machines are unable to understand the syntax of \LaTeX{} commands and so
+give up at learning the language. What a lot their missing out on.
+
+The review of \em TechWriter \em explained the virtues of a \scshape wysiwyg
+\upshape interface for composing scientific documents. Of course
+such interfaces are easy to use and appealing, but they as powerful?
+You can do a lot of clever things with something as primative as \bfseries vi
+\mdseries and a few \LaTeX{} macros. It's unlikely, in my view, that any
+\scshape wysiwyg \upshape interface is ever going to be that
+powerful---the combination of possibilities is just too high.
+
+Even the much praised \em TechWriter Pro \em (\pounds 199.00 plus
+\scshape vat) \upshape with its ability to output to \TeX{}, doesn't
+have numbered equations (yet). And you can hardly call numbered equations
+complex. Another example is index generation. \em TechWriter \em allows
+you to select any word (probably by clicking the mouse on it) and
+its automatically added to the index. Is that it? What about placing
+words in the index which say ``see also\ldots'' or topics which span
+several pages?
+
+\scshape wysiwyg \upshape programs lull authors into a false
+sense of ``this is simple'' when, in fact, what they are doing is
+over-simplifying what at times can be a difficult job. You have to
+work hard for good typography, it won't just pop out of a dialogue
+box.
+
+I've recently completed an in-depth review of \LyX{}, a \scshape wysiwyg
+\upshape front-end for \LaTeX{}, and I loved using it. How can this be in
+view of what I've just said? Well, \scshape wysiwyg \upshape programs
+are just fine, as long as those who use them understand their limitations.
+
+And the moral of this tail is keep practising the gobbledegook.
