I'm having a hard time in understanding how a few string substitutions
can be considered "not easy"... Maybe the reason is that I do *not* have
any clue about the game data format of _Beneath a steel sky_... :-(
But, if substituting a string with another one is so difficult, I'm
beginning to think that this format is awfully designed. :-( Are we
sure that we have the actual preferred form for modification of the game
data?

Well, I'm not suggesting that *every* single little discrepancy should
be fixed.
What I'm concerned about is just this big one: I noticed other little
differences in the letter between speech and subtitles, but this one is
a difference in the *meaning*.
The fact that there are many other negligible bugs should not be an
excuse for not fixing a minor, but not negligigle one.

As I said above, please fix just this one... :)

I'm trying hard to see it as a feature, but... no luck yet! ;-)
