euro explanation - wording problem (English)



Javier,

Hi.

In your nice explanation of Debian euro changes at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-euro-support/ch-intro.en.html
, section 1.4 says:

   ... where the euro symbol substitutes the international currency
   symbol ...

That should read:

   ... where the euro symbol replaces the international currency
   symbol ...

or:

   ... where the euro symbol is substituted for the international
   currency symbol ...


(In English, to say "A substitutes B" means that A puts B in place of
something else (C).  Saying "A replaces B" means that A is put in
place of B.  I hope this explanation helps.)
