Re: LibreOffice 3.6.0: behind the scenes

I'm completely confused by the second sentence here:

"Unfortunately, for one reason and another, despite a delay for a fourth release candidate, there are still some circumstances where an upgrade will not re-register some built-in extensions, and silently exit on first launch (just re-run it). On the down-side that can affect spell-checking dictionaries, and (for some) on the up-side disables Auto-COrrection too."

I'm wondering if it is significant that the second letter in "COrrection" is capitalized? Like, the feature that automatically corrects TWo INitial CAps will be disabled? But some people find that auto-correction annoying and will consider it an "up-side" that it's disabled? Doesn't really make sense to me, but it's all I can think of here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

as detected by Miklos' nice bin/find-german-comments script Don't know why, but it made me laugh. bin/german-and-comment would have been a great pun.

I'm sorry, I've really tried and even said this out loud a couple times, but I don't get the pun. Explain?

Ich bin I am

Ich bin Deutscher I'm german

ich bin german and comment I am german and comment

or bin german and comment am Deutscher und kommentiere

"German comments removal" sounds like a lot of work. It is always very annoying when programmers comment (or even name their variables/functions/whatever) using another language than English. Most APIs are based on English so this makes a very messy combination. And yet people do it often, hindering the possibility of foreigners to contribute. A recent example I've run into is the WYSIWYG editing extension for ShareJ…

BTW, You don't have to use rizzoma source. We publish it just because people ask.

English version for our rich editor will be launched after supporting of most browsers be ready.
