You're wrong there. Non-native speakers are more likely to understand English which deviates from the first language norm.

We can safely conclude that the OP's running either KDE or Gnome. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
