A minor point, probably: I see the word "authentification" used in the
Mail app (in the mail provider database attributes). I gather that
spelling may be quite common in European IT, but the correct English
word is "authentication". Wkipedia redirects. And see
http://dag.wieers.com/blog/authentification-does-not-exist
Am I worrying too much to see that as a potential problem in an
international project, where both words may get into the codebase? If
some function expects a string of one spelling, but gets the other?
Put it this way: I'm not at all familiar with coding practice but if
you guys maintain a dictionary of standard/difficult words, this may be
one you've missed :-)
