Even better, though, is to avoid using "to get" in this way at all. I'm informed that "to get" is one of the hardest verbs for non-native speakers, well, to get, so I try to avoid it in my own writing. "once the culprit is identified" or "has been identified" would both be good here. >> financial support) for such further >> documentation on the development process, please reach out to me and I >> will see what I can do. Financial support for documentation work? Now there's a nice idea...:) (back to real work now) jon
