[Bug 471389] Re: grammar problem on slide show

 

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.

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!
