To the original submitter:
While help is very much appreciated, I'm quite certain that few people
like to be attacked for the work which they do in their spare time for
little or no hope of direct personal gain. If you do, however, intend
to attack someone, it helps to get your information right. To wit: 'in
concreto' is, in fact, perfectly acceptable English when used as a
loan phrase from Latin. A small amount of research would have cleared
this up for you.
However, my intent is not to respond to the actual bug report; rather,
the bit that upset me was the arrogant and unfounded attack on Sander.
In an Open Source project such as PHP, there is a high probability
that any given member of the team is not, in fact, a native English
speaker. Deriding someone for this is not only pointless, but
ridiculous--the fact that we have so many authors with other native
tongues is the only thing which allows us to provide the manual in so
many different languages. It is a strength, not a weakness.
Finally, when you're going to attack someone based on their use of the
English language, especially if you intend to insult them for having
no writing skills, please ensure that:
o you spell 'typo' correctly,
o you spell 'sentence' correctly,
o you learn that 'what-so-ever' is not a word, but 'whatsoever' is, and
o your own sentences are not rife with grammatical mistakes (v. the
original bug report).
Yes, I do realize that by pointing out your mistakes I have guaranteed
that my own message will contain some. That's karma for you. :)

You must not speak English very well, that or you have no writing ability
what-so-ever!
Dude, concreto is not even a word in English and the sentance is a meaningless mess!
If you are not going to do anything about the problem, at least don't answer
ignorantly, sheesh. So much for open-source contributions...

http://download.php.net/manual/en/ref.overload.php has a type-o in the wanring, search
for the word "concreto" I can't tell actually what the typist meant to say, but
probably needs to replace:
names, in concreto ANYTHING
with:
names and ANYTHING
