Hilbert's Fifth Problem, in English translation, [1], is as follows : ``How far Lie's concept of continuous groups of transformations is approachable in our investigations without the assumption of the differentiability of the functions ?" followed by : ``In how far are the assertions which we can make in the case of differentiable functions true under proper modifications without this assumptions ?" Lately, in the American mathematical literature, due to unclear reasons, it has often been distorted and truncated as follows, [3] : ``Hilbert's fifth problem, like many of Hilbert's problems, does not have a unique interpretation, but one of the most commonly accepted accepted interpretations ..." A recent letter in this regard, sent to Terence Tao, and the editors of [3], Dan Abramovich, Daniel S Freed, Rafe Mazzeo and Gigliola Staffilani can be found below.
