- "Go to the folder that has your name"

- He'll call it the user's folder / the folder with the user's name on
it

- N (where n = username)

>"Userhome" (Username is also lacking the whitespace, isn't it?).

-This doesn't translate well at all: Hogar del Usuario / Nombre del
usuario.

each session is a personalized experience. the person who logs in knows
who he is and understands that a folder with his name on it is probably
where all her or his things are. karmic solved this very well and i
don't understand why it's still considered a papercut.
