Here's a better one, this time from the config.php file:

$CFG->dirroot = 'C:\Progam Files\EasyPHP\www\moodle';    // Windows

Do you see it?  It's a tough one to spot,.

"Progam" should have an r after the g.

This is a better nominee for the award, I think, because it's actually a functional defect, in preventing further installation without its being corrected.

Cheers!

You mean "unenrol"?

Don't be so hard on yourself - being American isn't a defect. wink

Yes, I was wondering if that's what was coming through on the cvs e-mails.

And, may I say, a very elegant way of doing it, too, by having a default language and then making dialects, like American-English, available to the installer.

Implies a very high-quality product in other departments...I'm impressed, sir!  Really.

As a side-note, if you ever want to provide a humorous option to an implementation, you could do a quick Google on "Val-speak" or "Valley-girl language", which was taken up the Zappa family of musicians here to produce a hit "song" a decade or so ago.

It has it's own lexicon that just makes us laugh, Californian and non-Californian.

It could be taken up into a sub-sub-dialect...regional?...Santa Barbara?...for American English.

But that's a whole different digression.

And, who knows, maybe the risk of offending someone is greater than the benefit provided.

Anyway, great work, sir, thanks.
