[Bug 1427911] Re: Grammar: ‘Even more earlier’ sounds redundant

 

Hi Adolfo,

Thanks for reporting this issue and propose a patch.

You're right, that string is wrong and it wasn't supposed to be in the production code.
Actually I wrote that line as a joke about the fact that it was difficult to test whether it was working or not.
Because of the huge size of the MP where the line was in, it hasn't been noticed during the review.

  Grammar: ‘Even more earlier’ sounds redundant

Bug description:
  I’ve found this string while translating:

  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-
  app/trunk/+pots/com.ubuntu.docviewer/es/30/+translate

  It says: “Even more earlier...” The “more” part is redundant when you
  use a comparative [1], “earlier” in this case.

  You have two options: either you use “Even more early” or “Even
  earlier”.
