You seem to find this offensive now, but making similar is spirit remarks about my alledged lack of knowledge of English, or me being deeply Soviet in my mind, or I f**king don't know what, as in https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/32532#issuecomment-1418146524 is OK for you? I quote: > Ah, this is a common confusion. gcc is a standard package - in this case the > word is spelled "standard" but it's pronounced "base". > I think this complicated situation is due to the 1918 spelling reform. (Remark: there was a spelling reform of Russian 1918 in USSR, cf. wikipedia) By the way, it's from https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/32532 - another nice example of Matthias not bothering to reply, just putting '-1' as his verdict. Another example of him abusing the consensus idea of Sage developement (it only works as long as everybody makes an effort to see the other p.o.v. - otherwise it's a sure way to nowhere).
