Re: [Gretl-devel] A small, pedantic gripe about "models" in gretl

It's interesting how different languages speakers treat "model". My own language has no articles and I perceive "model" as "a model". Of course, "ols" is not a model, but "ols regression" is. I think it's better to ask Gretl team rather than changing menus every time an instructor meets a stubborn student. For, example, currently I don't know the logic behind placing "arima..... --x-12-arima" under "model" and X-12-ARIMA under "variable". But, certainly, Gretl team DO know, and, having the time, could inform me. Then I could pass the answer to "children".
