I belive you know Open-Source is a worldwide movement.
And i know that there must be lots of orthographic errors in it,... but the content and the spirit is perfectly understandble...

...should i state that you do not make sense because you can not wright in Protuguese... or am i trying to replay to someone at IBM, HP or SUN !

You are still not following my advice. "wright" and "replay" are English words, but "Protuguese" is not! It looks like you are trying to replay the intro to "Zero Wing" :-)

I must respectfully disagree that your comment was "perfectly understandble". It's wasn't understandable for me, which prompted my comment.

Maybe you should consider getting a hobby or something. Not everyone knows english equally well, and it is not reasonable to demand that people who are less able must spend a lot of time spell and grammar -checking everything before participating in a debate.

A bad argument does not improve noticeably from being spellchecked, nor does a good argument degrade very much from containing a few stray errors.
