Thanks for the kind words. I depart from the assumption that there is 
only one English language (my second language). Whatever else is used is 
just corruption of the English language. Since starting with the manuals 
I have attempted to be consistent because true English is spoken in many 
more countries than in the US and we want to avoid US-centric 
documentation. A significant part of the user base is in Europe. 
Therefore, for instance, no verbs with z's, etc. If I had a choice, I 
would correct the "center".

Kind regards,

willem
