it's "germane", now. Germaine has been a firstname for some time.

More seriously : I don't mean to offend you, Weaver, but you should
probably try to stick to "simple" English. This is an international list,
LOL, You mean all those other debian-user (debian-user-catalan ...
debian-user-vietnamese) are for show?

no, I mean people on debian-user-catalan, for instance,
may also be on debian-user - in fact it's very probable.

Do you mean words of one syllable, when you refer to "simple English"


no, I mean the "Simple English Wikipedia" sort of English
(http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_English_Wikipedia)

For short : don't try to sound smart, most people are here
looking for help, not looking to be impressed by your mastery
of the English language. Or by your "clever" one-syllable joke :P

At one time, having a rich vocabulary was desired, now its considered
pompous? :(

I'm all for rich vocabulary, when it doesn't get in the way of getting
your point across. Do read the posts I'm talking about carefully and
I think you'll understand what I mean.
