Re: [tdf-discuss] LibreOffice UI should be tweaked, not reinvented

I was trying to say that one person's idea of proper use is another's idea of mis-use. Consider the 
following:



1.- Introduction:
This chapter, is the introduction- the initial explanation -, of the subject blah blah blah etc 
etc...




This is considered perfectly proper here in Spain. I think it's awful, but that's what local custom requires. It breaks 
any number of the punctuation rules I was taught as a youngster in the UK but is absolutely valid here. I'm not sure how 
these wide cultural differences can -- or even should -- be catered for in a UI.
