I wasnt complaining about the release cycle or string fixing, I just suggested 
it because I like symmetry. It means that someone who cares a lot about 
accurate US english could translate/fix the english used by developers just 
as the case is with the UK english translator. 

And no, I dont care, english is not even my native tongue.

Btw, wouldnt it be possible to write a tool that changed an original 
i18n-string in both the source-code and all the kde-i18n modules? That could 
also help ease message fixing. (excuse my ignorance if such a tool already 
exists)
