Being very very nitpicky, I noticed in section 14.1 that you spelt<br class="">
"behaviour" correctly, but earlier in you wrote "center" in American. I<br class="">

Correct, we agree on American English for all documentation. Again, a<br class="">
patch would be most helpful.<br class="">

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".<div class="gmail-HOEnZb"><div class="gmail-h5"><br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div class="">I also favour English spelling. You may be interested to learn that the Oxford style guide mandate's -ize suffixes, and the Oxford Dictionary lists -ise spelling as a variation. I believe -ize is etymologically (and phonetically - but that's rarely respected in English spelling) more correct, derived from Greek, and the -ise spelling only became fashionable around the 17th century in an attempt to look French (even though the words are of Greek, not Latin origin). For the record, the -ise spelling is far more common here in Australia.<br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">This is one of those things... since the default English version of Subsurface and Subsurface-mobile is in en-US, the manual should be in en-US as well.</div><div class="">I'm happy to have a "translated" version for en-UK, though.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">/D</div></body></html>
