Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Function IRR description

Hi :)
Thanks :)  I think 

Computes the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows

is a minor improvement on the 2nd one.  Neither make any sense to me but some background reading 
about the topic made it clear i would never understand enough to get a short simple sentence.  The 
2nd one suggests that the function can handle a number of inputs and then generate a single output 
value.  The first suggests that you have got to put in several different parameters  in order to 
get a single output value.  

Regards from 
Tom :)
