All,

There are, to my knowledge, no plans for the 'standardisation' of English
in Europe, beyond a few minor changes already made. For example, we now
have adopted 'sulfur' rather than sulphur. The trade off for this was you
guys spelling aluminium correctly with an i. Does anybody?!

Best wishes


Simon
