... and "too" (often in the end of the sentence, often in conjunction with an exclamation mark) in the case of an affirmation preceding it:

- I don't love you!
- I don't love you, either!

vs

- I love you!
- I love you, too!

Oh my goodness! Too sweet your builds are, roytam1!

No, am afraid it isn't right... "either" is always associated with a negation preceding it:

"The Euro European currency isn't used in the United Kingdom (they use the Pound Sterling there); it isn't used in Denmark, either (they use the Danish Krone).

What you should've written, probably, would be:

"It (Pluto) works in German (language/subs, etc.), too!"

@Dave-His a native en-GB speaker, so I'd like very much to hear his view on this...

German and English are from the same group of languages - Germanic languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages

I find the Germans to be one of the most educated nations in the world, and @AstroSkipper is absolutely right and his English is excellent .

In other words, one could say "works either way", meaning the main English website version and the German language version.

Here are some examples of the right usage.

Google translator doesn't work properly, most translations are crap.

I prefer DeepL.

Made a bookmarklet for it, so that I can translate a selection easily.

javascript:(function%20translate(){function%20se(d)%20{return%20d.selection%20?%20d.selection.createRange().text%20:%20d.getSelection()%20}s%20=%20se(document);for%20(i=0;%20i<frames.length%20&&%20!s;%20i++)s%20=%20se(frames[i].document);if%20(!s%20||%20s=='')%20s%20=%20prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20translate%20with%20DeepL','');open('https://www.deepl.com/translator#'+document.documentElement.lang+'/en/'%20+%20(s%20?%20encodeURIComponent(s)%20:%20'')).focus();})();

Hi @roytam1, sorry for being off-topic! I got a private English lesson for free, and unfortunately, of all things in your thread. But now, I am initiated into the mysteries of the English language. Generally, I hate to be off-topic, but I couldn't reject such a schooling deliberately, and truth be told, I enjoyed it. Mea culpa!

Kindest regards, AstroSkipper 

PS: And to be a bit on-topic again, I installed your recent version of NM 28, and as far as I can see, it works great. Thank you very much for all your efforts!

I'm wondering, going forward with Serpent, should we leave the overrides as they are - let alone the default ua. There never was basilisk for xp; so I find:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/4.8 Firefox/68.0 Basilisk/52.9.0

To be incorrect ... although, now we do have a FF68 (Mypal) for XP so I don't know how that would augur. 

Is "%OS_SLICE%" considered to be valid, because with general.useragent.site_specific_overrides left at true wouldn't the sites see the overrides?

I wonder if Roy intends to keep these up-to-date ... hopefully so.

Thank you :)

 

[XPerceniol]

whereas .. just now on FF52.9.1, of course there are no overrides, though general.useragent.site_specific_overrides is still defaulted to true. I can only spoof FF62 for YT to play - and it does play just fine.

user_pref("general.buildID.override", "20100101");
user_pref("general.oscpu.override", "Windows NT 10.0");
user_pref("general.useragent.compatMode.firefox", true);
user_pref("general.useragent.compatMode.version", "62");
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win32; x86; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0");

But, of course, there is no future for this and I hope there is a bright future for Serpent 52 and 55 Thanks to Roytam1

Update: While I did manage to get Firefox 3.0a7 building with the "windows" GFX toolkit, and it launches, it only shows the title bar, with everything else being invisible and unusable. Firefox 3.0a4 was the same. I suspect the last version of Firefox that was able to work with the windows GFX toolkit was Firefox 3.0a2. I will try Firefox 3.0a3 though.

Update 2: I built Firefox 3.0a3 on Visual C++ 6.0 using the Windows GFX toolkit, and now the browser is somewhat usable, but there is a bug that sets the font size for text in the menu bar and address bar at ~128 pixels.

The word "either"has to be used in the case of a negation preceding it.

And to make our strange language even more complicated, there's another use of the word "either:" to emphasize that a subsequent "or" is exclusive. For example:

Quote

I'll have either ham or bacon for breakfast

... meaning, I'll have one of those choices, but not both.

[Ascii2]

I would like to pose a question here regarding the MailNews Message Pane behavior.

By default, MailNews Message Pane displays a selected message or, for the case where there are multiple messages selected, summaries of selected messages; the message cursor is not used to determine whether to display contents in the Message Pane.

I very much dislike the behavior when having multiple messages selected and find that it would be much more useful for me to be able to see individual message contents for a selected message and where it is itself selected by the message cursor.  The behavior I would prefer is used by many other email clients, such as Outlook Express 6, but not by MailNews by default.  The default behavior is especially less useful or not useful for HTML messages that have many pictures and are oftentimes positioned in tables.

For illustration, I have created and attached a picture showing what MailNews displays in the Message Pane when multiple messages are selected.  In this example, the message cursor is atop the message with the "Happenings - Generally" Subject.  The picture:

Is there a way to get MailNews to show only, without summarizing, the individual message contents in the Message Pane for a message that is both selected, where the message cursor is atop the message, and where multiple messages are selected?

Thank you for your further hint! Frankly, I already knew that. We learned that at school, "either...or..., neither...nor...". BTW, for being a mathematician you have to know the difference between "or" on the one hand, and "either...or..." on the other.  In my case I totally forgot the correct use of "either" in the meaning of "too". Therefore, I used it wrong in a few cases. And, to complete our examination, there is another use, too. (you see the English lesson was successful, Lol! ). "Either of us" in the meaning of "one of us" or "both". I had a look in my "English Companion's Modern Grammar", and did a Google research, too. As I already said, I was initiated into the mysteries of the English language. And now, my life is a better one. 

Cheers, AstroSkipper
