As a few British speakers have lamented, the menus of OpenOffice.org are
written in USAlish or World English - it's Color not Colour, for example.
Therefore, correcting this one option to an awkward sounding, longer phrase,
would be pointless.  That one phrase is not going to "correct" the menus for
British speakers.  The point is mostly moot anyway, since the people who
make such decisions do not read the Users list.  And this list is the wrong
place for this discussion anyway.  At best it should be on
[email protected], but most likely, with it degrading into a lesson in
grammar, it should be moved to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
