Gentoo is a worldwide project, so i guess many of the contributors are not native speakers. See the gentoo-devs all over the world [1] as an example. Okay english is the common language here, but is it that difficult to articulate in a way that everybody can understand and not to use words which could easily be misunderstood. Lucky you are that your native language is one of the world's most widely spoken languages. Imagine to express yourself in a language you are not familiar with! I hope everybody can understand this, as i am not a _native speaker_ too! [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/roll-call/devmap.xml? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
