Gah, I wish there was a contact link on there that wasn't twitter. The typo "fondamental" bugs me, then when looking for contact info I found "Developper" done over and over.

Just for the sake of explanation, "fondamental" and "développeur" are French words.

Impatient Hacker English?

No it's just bad English and lazy. When I publish something that I write in German and expect people to read it, I go through the trouble of running it through a German language spellchecker. Doing otherwise is lazy and rude to your audience.

...and after running a spell checker on your text, put one or two insingificant but noticeable typos to let your readers know you're so cool you don't need a spell checker ;)

I figured because it was repeated it was simply the same word in a different language, but having it presented as English bugged me some =P

Sadly, Notepad++ has never been the most professional project out there. It's decent, though I tend to think people who are obsessed with it need to back away from Windows for a second and try Kate.

So, I think this might illustrate that high on their features list should be 'English Spellcheck'.

You can run Kate on MS Windows now (in common with the rest of KDE4, http://windows.kde.org/).

Ha. Try a professional project named "Kate".
Re:Notepad++ leaves SourceForge by melvin on Tuesday June 08, 2010 @10:37PM (#1415972)
I don't understand, do you mean there's something wrong with the name 'Kate' (KDE Advanced text Editor), that the appearance and conduct Kate developers are not professional, or that there is something unprofessional about the program?

The name, obviously. Doesn't matter what it stands for, it's a girls first name.

Damn right! Girly program languages suck. That's why I never even bothered to try Ada, and why my favourite is Python.

Well, Microsoft Bob isn't a very professional name either.
Re:Notepad++ leaves SourceForge by melvin on Thursday June 10, 2010 @01:13PM (#1420769)
Well, it's just a text editor. I've had good experiences with girls named 'Kate', so for me, this is a bonus.

So is "Cat".
Re:Notepad++ leaves SourceForge by sharkey on Wednesday June 09, 2010 @02:18AM (#1416332)
So is "Vi" ... well, it's short for Violet. Can't imagine calling a girl "Emacs" though ...
