There may be mistakes during the compilation process of HELLO file. (I tried to do double-check by putting all the phrases into the search engine and see if they hit to multiple sources, but not all of languages such attempts are successful.) There may also be informal greetings that some people may feel uncomforatble, but I couldn't know if such thing really occured. If we could hope that people who found inappropriate entry in HELLO.txt would kindly point it out rather than just merely get angered, and if we are not asking an absolute quality on correctness of HELLO file, perhaps we could put all the `Hello' phrases found the Internet. There might be other options, such as to put some statements in top of HELLO file asking people to polish the quality and extend the coverage of languages... -- --------------------------------------------------------- (kawabata.taichi@gmail.com) KAWABATA, Taichi
