Ah, OK. I must admit I also use the english words in day-to-day (german) conversations. However, in case of tags, when spoken, you have the ability to pronounce tag differently (long "a" when you mean day, short "a" for a git tag), which is not the case in a written conversation. How about using "neues Tag" instead of "neuer Tag"? Bye... Dirk -- Dirk Heinrichs Tel: +49 (0)2471 209385 | Mobil: +49 (0)176 34473913 GPG Public Key C2E467BB | Jabber: dirk.heinrichs@altum.de
