I corrected the spelling and capitalisation of the mission statment (removing a castrated ram, among other things :-)
- "OpenOffice.org" instead of "OpenOffice.Org"
- "AROS" instead of "Aros"
- "whether" instead of "wether" (which is a castrated ram, just so you know)
- "she" instead of "he"
(The last one is, as far as I have come to understand a bit ambigous, a human being is feminine, but a person is masculine unless female. Feel free to correct me.)
Corrected :-)
Changed it to "they use" which makes more sense. The other way it could of been worded was "he or she uses" There is no gender given to anything in English unless it actually has a gender (or there is one of our world famous random language rules).
That's why we find other European languages so confusing. Why is a book more feminine than another inanimate object. Der, Die, Das, Dem, Dativ cases UGH! Year 9 German all over again! :-o
