Comment (by mtredinnick): Out of deference to people who have English as a second (or third or seventeenth) language, I'm going to leave most of these changes as they currently are. My understanding (from doing a internationalisation support for most of a decade) is that possessive form constructions are harder to unambiguously understand than the slightly more passive phrasing we have here. It's a bit of a judgement call, I'll admit. Will commit the additions for LENGTH, TYPE, etc, though. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16581#comment:5> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
