I am not a native speaker, so I did not get that. But all others (except Firefox) are written with the program as start of the sentence. In the Firefox sentence it is very clear that it is about Firefox using SQLite and not the other way around. Not all users of SQLite are fluent speakers of English, so it would be good to prevent this kind of ambiguity. Kudos for the fast change of the text. -- Cecil Westerhof _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
