+ <p>The plural form of training was used frequently in the early stages of
the project, which is strictly speaking not grammatically correct, as well as
misleading from the perspective of this project. Training, being a gerund (verb
used as noun) does not have a plural form, so should always be followed by a
quantifiable noun like <em>sessions</em> or <em>slides</em>.</p>

+ <p>Additionally, the existence of this project is to a large extent based
on the believe that a good training session consists of much more than just the
material that is being shown, a distinction that is distracted from by the use
of <em>training</em> as all-encompassing term.</p>

+ <p>While we will not tell anybody how to phrase this, as a project we will
try to keep any official wording as concise as possible and stay away from the
use of <em>training</em> or <em>trainings</em>.</p>

integrating existing donated material.</p>
