Maybe to be more precise, it would be a semantic mistake, grammar in its stict sense is still correct here. >From my previous report on Bugzilla: When the network is disconnected, a notification appears, saying: "The network connection has been disconnected." This is one of the sentences you show most often on your desktop, and it is quite grammatically incorrect. *You can't disconnect a connexion, you disconnect a cable; I'd rather say you stop/interrupt/bring down a connexion. This is like saying "prices are expensive" or "speed is fast": just ridiculous... ;-)* Moreover, the title of the pop-up is "Disconnected", so the term appears twice. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
