:-) Well, if we're going to be pedantic ... I don't think you're necessarily correct. See http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/dictionaries/english/data/d0081767.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_noun, for example. It seems to depend on where you live and how it's used. Not all uses of a group/collective noun require a plural verb. And in this case, to me at least, "data are" sounds weird. Mind you, that might just mean it needs to be localised for the various English locales ... and then we've come full circle. :-D Wow, never thought we'd be discussing English on Tap-Dev! ;-) > On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 4:51 AM, Jirka Valach (JIRA) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: >> >> [ >> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-367?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel] >> >> Jirka Valach updated TAP5-367: >> ------------------------------ >> >> Description: >> It would be nice, if you can localize message "There is no data to >> display." in property file, to be able to change it globaly in all project >> instead of block overriding in every page which use Grid or writting own >> derived component. >> Thanks. >> >> was: >> It would be nice, if you can localize message "There is no data to >> display." in property file, to be able to change it globaly in all project >> instead of block overriding in every page which use Grid or writting oven >> derived component. >> Thanks. >> >> >> > in Grid component "There is no data to display." localization >> > ------------------------------------------------------------- >> > >> > Key: TAP5-367 >> > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-367 >> > Project: Tapestry 5 >> > Issue Type: Improvement >> > Components: tapestry-core >> > Affects Versions: 5.0.16 >> > Reporter: Jirka Valach >> > Priority: Minor >> > >> > It would be nice, if you can localize message "There is no data to >> display." in property file, to be able to change it globaly in all project >> instead of block overriding in every page which use Grid or writting own >> derived component. >> > Thanks. >> >> -- >> This message is automatically generated by JIRA. >> - >> You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
