Hi :) +1 Nice catch! I guess we often don't notice these things because they have become part of our "technical language". However, i agree that people who don't spend all day using these tools probably think it looks clunky and it's probably difficult to translate into some languages, unless people have assumed it was already the way you suggest. (Btw I think that is one reason that MTs probably wont catch-up with human translators. They can be a good tool sometimes but too often they get it hilariously wrong where a human can be more creative) Regards form Tom :)
