You must be kidding.

If the situation were that the word "Linux kernel" cannot be translated correctly to many languages, it may make good sense to use a more commonly known example in the original (and translated) text. But as far as I can tell from this thread so far, Portuguese speakers in the tech field would understand which project you are referring to when you say either "kernel do linux" or "o kernel linux" just fine. Avoiding the "Linux kernel" example only because you have some language lawyering tendency feels just plain silly.

First of all, I never said anything about "stopping the disagreements".

You can do your disagreement with other people in Portuguese speaking community all you want. I only asked you to do your disagreeing with them in _other forums_. Do it in your blog, in your own Linux tutorial or git documentation, or whatever. I really do not care, and I do not want to get involved.

But not in our documentation, whose original uses the Linux kernel as an example, simply because that's the original proeject git came from.

Pick whichever word you feel is the most appropriate translation, and send in an update (or a pull request), and let's get this round of typofixes over with in the first place. I do not care if that version said "kernel do linux" or "o kernel linux".

If enough people care deeply about one way or another like you seem to do, they can send in further updates and I may (or may not) pick it up to reverse whatever choice you make in that version. But that will be in a later round. Let's not let this block other noncontroversial and obviously correct updates, Ok?
