hi robert-

sorry to offend - i wasn't even trying to stir the pot!  i chose the 's' word
precisely because the whole affair doesn't seem worth having strong feelings
on.  i'll bow out of the discussion then since my feelings on the topic
certainly aren't strong - i just felt like people we're splitting hairs and
thought i'd point out other accepted terms where people could easily do the
same, but don't.

as always, i suppose it's better to post working ruby code than rants in
english: they are more precise!  ;-)

kind regards.
