But that's just English semantics. I can't imagine what it would be with other locale settings. It might be very clear in some other languages. Semantics can be very challenging when context is missing. In Tagalog there are 2 different words for the English word "we": inclusive of the person being spoken to, or exclusive; it has clarity without context. If we can make things clear without regard to the language, then we have a good UX design. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
