Actually, I don't know either :-). I copied the 'preferred forms' from the 
proofreading team (see 
http://www.kde.me.uk/index.php?page=Consistency+rules).

For the moment, I'm quite happy to keep these as the preferred forms, since:
1. If we change all occurrences in all documentation to the same thing, then 
it's easy to change to a different form later, if we change our minds.
2. If we start discussing the relative merits of different forms, we'll 
probably spend forever without making any useful decisions :-).

Thanks for the hints - I'll make a note to add those.

Regards,
Philip
