“Sections X to Y” or “Sections X through Y”? What I meant with "international" was that the audience is not specifically British (or American, for that matter) English readers, but the international scientific (computer science) community at large. Thus, I would be inclined to use what would be most easily understood by the majority of the readers, however, I guess based on the replies to this question, that most everyone would understand "X to Y", whereas someone might be confused by "X through Y". |

“Sections X to Y” or “Sections X through Y”? Hmm, the intended audience is "international", as this is a scientific/academic text. |

“A” or “an” for symbols that start with @ @RegDwighт: Ok then, I guess the question becomes: Is the @ sign in this context typically pronounced by writers of texts about Java? |

Is “iff” considered a real word or just an abbreviation? It is not (only) a programming term, however. More of a logic term, I would say. |
