Re: How formal or informal?

[Gilles CASSIN <gcassin -at- noos -dot- fr>]

If you users are mainly foreigners, you should go beyond just not using 
it's. This is taught at school. Noun phrases such as the first window title 
bar should be replaced with the  title bar of the first window. Also, 
sentences where verbs have the same spelling as the word (eg record) could 
lead to wrong interpretation. Anyhow, if you intend to sell abroad, be 
aware that: foreigners may have many reluctance with a non translated 
product; and there are countries where translation is a legal requisite.

Cheers to all, I didn't read this list for a long, so its a warm hug to

tools, apologize if this has been a longishly discussed thing, 2)do not 
belong to them.
