Either set en_US or rather don't set anything at all but go after "google correct". That's the mos= t populair alternative. For example colour gets 422 000 000 hits and colo= r gets 2 260 000 000 hits. We should use color even if it's not en_UK. It's a more pragmatic approach and most git users aren't native english speakers anyway. --=20 Med v=E4nliga h=E4lsningar =46redrik Gustafsson tel: 0733-608274 e-post: iveqy@iveqy.com
