a) a use case<br />
b) show it actually matches the needs of different languages.</p>
<p>For e.g. englisch and the most european languages, two different positions are sufficent. Also, the AndListType and the UnitListType are identical. What is missing is a format where no conjunction is used, i.e. all lists elements are joined using ', '</p></div>

<p>a) Most of the uses I found is in PIM, where day names and people names are joined for a neat sentence. Maybe even email header renderer could use this. Other uses: <a href="https://lxr.kde.org/source/kde/kdeedu/kalgebra/src/kalgebra.cpp#0543" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">KAlgebra</a> and <a href="https://lxr.kde.org/source/kde/kdeedu/kturtle/src/inspector.cpp#0226" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">KTurtle</a>. Maybe even KMyMoney with the print check function (representing the full text representation of the amount.)<br />
Not a very strong use case, yes, but I thought this can be helpful.</p>
<p>b) I agree with this that most languages use 2 positions only. I prefered to do <a href="https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-49/tr35-general.html#ListPatterns" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">what Unicode is doing</a> and provide all the three forms they provide, to be in the safe side.<br />
And you can see in that document all the forms they have. I thought it will be an overkill to add them all. I've scanned most languages in Unicode and there isn't any difference between normal and shorter versions.</p>
<p>If you see that this could be useful, then great, let's develop it. Otherwise we can just ignore it till we find a good use case.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R244 KCoreAddons</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D14733">https://phabricator.kde.org/D14733</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>safaalfulaij, Frameworks<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>bruns, kde-frameworks-devel, michaelh, ngraham<br /></div>
