• I am trying to prod the developers (whom I admire -- great dudes, NOT RACIST) to put just a **little** more attention into these cultural/locale/format matters. I DO NOT THINK THESE GUYS OR GALS ARE RACIST ONE TINY BIT! Your email is unhelpful and…

• Graham, I had a GREAT deal of trouble trying to get them to take these requests seriously. Often, this seems to be a cultural issue and the developers (heros otherwise) have difficulty realising how irksome these nasties can be. Try looking at the…
