Even my spoken English is often taken (by the English) as English with an English accent, and I've never been outside Australia. The Language isn't so much a problem, but I do get fed up telling my computer we use A4 paper. Once I tell it I live in Perth, WA then it should KNOW I use A4 paper, measure lengths in metres, write dates dd/mm/yy and so on. And that my first choice of dictionary is Australian English and if that's not available then UK English is fine. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right! _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
