Unbuntu

[kaldor]

Am I the only one who notices this?

How many times have I read/seen/heard people say Unbuntu? Especially in the support sections!

Is it really that hard to pronounce or even glance at the top of the browser to check if it has an n or not? :)

I guess it's not as bad as my father who calls it "Oh-bunk-ter".

Ubunto and ubunti I've seen a few times

Another thing that gets me is when people refer to lucid as 10.4 instead of 10.04
maybe I'm just sad lol

This is what happens when a word that isn't common in a language is used.
As for the numbering scheme, its confusing to people who come from the land of reality, and only visit the Matrix when things don't work.

I've got a friend that suppose to be this big tech nerd...all into linux...I ask him what distro he's using and he says Lucinda Lindsy last night...and he wasn't joking...I was like wtf are you talking about. So I asked him again and he says 10.4. I said it's Lucid Lynx...you're using the Ubuntu distro, and it's 10.04. Some people can't get anything right.

Uh, mathematically, 10.4 makes more sense.

Misspellings are common. Go to Ubuntu.com (leaving out the "n" ) and you will be visitor #1,000,000 and a winner.

yeah, but when parsing lists, you include the 0 so 10.10 wouldnt show up before 10.04...the zero keeps the order correct. Basic stuff...it's not about math :)

Hmm, oops. Perhaps I need to do more lists

[Frak]

If grammar errors like 10.4 bother you need to get out more. (Unless you have a medical reason, in which case, my condolences.) As for spelling errors, many people of different languages can't spell well in English. I can understand its hard!

[Dr Belka]

best one I have heard is "Umombo" (oo-mom-boe)

[RiceMonster]

I don't get it. Isn't it called Unbuntu?

[cguy]

Sure it is!

As for spelling errors, many people of different languages can't spell well in English. I can understand its hard!I find that people whose first language is NOT English, tend to spell WAY better than those whose first language IS English...

I don't. I have moderate disabilities that make me miss a lot of words and mispell. Second language people sound the words out, and the ones who fully know how to usually are the ones who type in full grammar. (What i've learned in about a year of working at a host)

[kaldor]

Very, very true. Reason is that people who learn English are too slack with it and don't "learn" it. Foreigners have to often learn it in school, where it's taught better.

[ubunterooster]

Y do we need 2 spell anyway? We B understood w/o effort.

My friend calles it unbuntu (sometimes). It doesn't bother me too much thgough, since I pronounce things wrong all the time too, sometimes on purpose :P (sin cos tan in math...)
