Program's bad English

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

One thing I have noticed in the last few years is programs that make a lot of ugly use of English:

For example: 'translate T_TEXT.E' and then it translates. It should read: 'translating T_TEXT.E' or 'I am translating T_TEXT.E' or 'I will now translate T_TEXT.E'. Is there a compelling reason to use the infinitive form here?
