Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Follow-up on en_US changes

I may be completely misunderstanding this, but 
it seems to me the point is the en_US strings 
should be translations as well. That would put 
much needed damper on the changes introduced 
"just because they can be introduced". As a 
secondary gain, translations are (hopefully) 
created by folks with at least some native 
language preparation; right now "master" strings 
"which anybody can write" -- as I know from my 
own practice and from this list -- may be 
awkward in expression and/or convoluted in 
meaning (fixing which creates more work for 
everybody).
