It was starting to sound overwhelmingly passive, so I changed it to “Use it to create letters, presentations and spreadsheets, as well as diagrams and databases.”
Are you okay with that? You can view the slideshow by grabbing it from the bzr repository and running test-slideshow.sh. (Martin Owens’s Ground Control makes that super easy). You can also head to http://people.ubuntu.com/~dylanmccall/ubiquity- slideshow-ubuntu to see a (probably) recent version. Thanks for your help. -- grammar problem on slide show https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubiquity Slideshow, which is subscribed to ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu in ubuntu. Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: ubiquity on the slide show, the following currently appears when talking about openoffice: "it is useful to create letters, presentations," This should be: "it is useful FOR creatING letters, presentations," saying "it is useful to" is kind of like saying "it's a good idea to".. but the slide really wants to talk about why openoffice is useful. I hope this makes sense. If you want any other little suggestions on good use of grammar for the slide show, let me know. I don't know how to view the slideshow without installing ubuntu. Thank you!
