Maybe it sounded in your first letter like that you may be one of
those
Americans who allways try to make the USA the center of the
world.
We Europeans and people from other countrys don't like that it is
offending,
so i can understand Martin Spott's reaction.
But now, that
you made clear that this wasn't your intention and that you
don't have
this US center view of seeing the world i think it was just a
misunderstanding between both sides. :)
I like your proposion of
adding a _note_ in the appropriate section in
brackets that says: "[U.S.
keyboards use "." instead of ","]".
This is a very nice solution.
We
just need to make clear that Flightgear stays as international as
possible.
