Can I ask for your services as a proof reader and general SPG person type thing? I have almost finished Project: Numbers and Logic and am looking for someone to give it a look over before I hand it in. Joanna recommended you so if you can, it is at http://www.h2g2.com/A384284

Just read the email. How about (for the confusing sentance in Completeness), "Goedel's famous theorum of Incompleteness is steeped in bizarre logical constructions. However, an example is the following tale."

Also, it *is* indecidable, not undecidable. I have no idea why, but I always have seen it down as I wrote it. The rest will be fixed ASAP smiley - smiley

(BTW, the pun was bad but I couldn't resist smiley - winkeye)

Your version of the sentence under the Completeness section is super.

The undecidable vs. indecidable debate could be one of those where British English is different from American English.Since I'm in America, I sometimes stumble on less common differences and try to correct them. smiley - smiley

My source was the Mirriam-Webster online dictionary ( http://www.m-w.com ), which is American. When I tried the only British dictionary I could find (the Cambridge online dictionary at http://www.dictionary.cambridge.org ), neither word was listed. So you could easily be right, but I had no way of verifying it so I sent a correction. You can always discard my nitpicks if appropriate.
