OSNews, Generic OSes After weeks of hard work, I would like to introduce you to version 1.0 of the "OSNews Style Guide: Rules and Guidelines for Publishing and Participating on OSNews" [.pdf]. Read on for some small notes on what this actually means.

what version of the English do you speak ?
Changes for rules.php
Under "2. The moderation system"
3x OSNews" -> OSNews's
author"s, editor"s -> author's, editor's

No biting sarcasm ? Yeah, that'll work.

Mike, get hold of yourself. All these " there are because of my automatic translation from DOC to TXT to remove the smart quotes and use normal quotes (because some OSes don't support smart quotes). It is not how Thom wrote it, so yeah, sarcasm won't work over here. Do your bug report without the sarcasm.

Sorry for trying to help, but your "automatic translation from DOC to TXT" excuse doesn't hold water. Either it would work or fail, not both. Don't attack me pointing it out. Don't blame me because whoever posted it didn't double-check it before it went live.
