If the distinction is hard to keep in everyday written mail, then it's badly designed. KDE has always been meant desktop and framework to me and some other people I know. The recent change has to prove its usefulness but not via forcing/unpolite behaviour. We're not accusing anyone who uses Calligra term instead Calligra Engine Frameworks 2.4 of being uneducated. We use Calligra libs ex-changeably from time to time. > Thanks for telling me that my work I put into that document was just waste of > time. It's good that the problem popped up: I don't know about you but it shows that I still want to be a bit more human in the press kit, otherwise I sound rather like a J2EE/Oracle guy using too many acronyms [1]. Yet I do not expect even this correctness here in a normal writing. Please note that KDE itself is a problem since its meaning has been replaced with magic non-acronym. So its building on a problematic rename. Just a fact not criticism. Just relax.
