"Thanks to our all users and contributors!"

Is this correct English (American?) ?

In German there is something like "unser aller" but refers usually to a single object or something uncountable like "unser aller Gesundheit" and means something that belongs to each of us distinctly, i.e. my health (Gesundheit) is not identical to someone else's health.

So should it have been
"Thanks to all our users and contributors!"
or is it correct as it is.
Can't imagine a typo in the About dialog would go into final...

I'm really just curious (i.e. no flame or nitpicking intended).

Nope, you're right. The words switched were.

</pathetic joke>

Nah, you're subtly missing the flavor. Switched, the words were.

[OK] [Cancel]

Yeah, except that doesn't look so bad! :-)

What's up with the [cancel][ok] thing anyway? Several times I've clicked cancel thinking that I clicked ok, and then sit there for 10 seconds wondering "why isn't anything happening?" Or worse yet, "why is my system rebooting?"

The entire usability test group must consist of Apple users. Perhaps metacity should reverse the default order of its titlebar buttons just to be consistent, instead of this half Mac/half Windows thing.
