Thanks for making it better. English is my third language (my first 
language, of course, is Italian, and my second is French, which I have 
studied at school) as I have started studying it when I was 18. Now my 
English is better than my French, because I practice it more, but my 
English will always be far from adequate.

This is what we have done in Italy. We have never expressed a negative 
thought on our competitors, and this has made us popular. We have used a 
lot of irony, and this has made us even more popular.

We are the white knight of free software, they are the dark angels of 
proprietary software.
