May I use this answer for the clients of mine who are really upset at the moment. That they are being "silly" about the spelling and grammar changes.
We are not talking about a piece of wood or metal here we are talking about the development kernel which clients are attempting to become familiar with. One client may very well be going back to porting legacy apps to Winnt because of this incident.
The clients could care less if everything to spelled correctly and that the grammar is correct. The clients care about one thing and one thing only are the changes being made improving the development kernel in a technologically sound manner.
There are 'bad ideas' and then there are the 'really bad ideas' This wholesale spelling and grammar changing rates as one the 'really bad ideas'.
