I know that potato, Debian, and GNU/Linux are the convention here. Any
other ones are "overcorrection" by the grammar zealot from your
perspective :) (I do not care one way or other.)
But can you elucidate us where those conventions came form. We
certainly know Ian the founder of Debian is from Great Britain where
people spell television as tv (I hope I am right on this...).
Just a curious question.
("I do not know" is a good answer to this.)
