some of us would rather that than speak US English, lol.
if you want to bring politics and war into it, maybe the imbecilic brit politicians wouldn't recently have been complicit with their equally idiotic american counterparts in the murder of thousands of innocents - if it wasn't for certain war mongering self obsessed and falsely self-righteous american politicians. oh and maybe the americans should have started fighting terrorists a few decades earlier instead of funding them in ireland.
Sorry. I agree with you but we are in a different era right now. When I was born I was named in memory of my father's best friend who died in ww2 fighting to keep us all free.
Wow. My comment made the whole thread go waaaay off topic I see \
What I meant by my comment was not to insult anyone but simply to point out that "British English" is a double positive, and that "English" being used to refer to the US variant of English is somewhat incorrect and that the system used in iOS 3.x (which used "English (UK)" and "English (US)") was, in my opinion, more politically correct as UK English came before US English.
It?s not redundant. English is referencing the language not the people. British is a descriptive qualifier to denote which dialect is being referenced. This is common in the English language.
What is "other" on the iPad? It kept bloating to the point where it was 4gig. Now with the upgrade it went down to 0.42gig. Please help.
Probably cached data for one or more of your apps.
Some GPS navigation/mapping programs will store a large amount of data locally to reduce cellular network load (MotionX GPS Drive is one example). Some of the video player apps hog up lots of space for caching/saving content. If you have a bunch of news apps, those are probably caching content for offline reading.
If you are doing any editing (documents, photos, etc.), the apps may be keeping copies of your original/edited files around, just in case. Space issues will be more critical once the iPad gains video recording/editing capabilities.
In pracice, if we, Americans, are misunderstood when speaking French French -- we just repeat ourselves... speaking louder.

Ha, so true. When I was flying home from Paris the security screener was asking me several questions about my trip. Even though she was satisfied with my answers she spent a good two minutes making repeat the name of the town where I had stayed. My pronunciation of St Amand was so bad she would not let me through until I pronounced it correctly!
A lot of the English that is spoken in jolly old England is horribly accented, grammatically incorrect, and often, frustratingly difficult to comprehend.
Only a small piece of the country speaks the Queen's stuff.

A thousand years ago the English language consisted of twenty or so words. Mostly single syllable words like king, kill, meat, drink, land etc. With the influence of French brought words like democracy, government, justice, liberty, education, and literature. When these two languages intermingled we ended up with a very free form of expression where nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions were being placed at the beginning, end and middle of sentences with no apparent regard for traditional structure. After a few hundred years of this we came up with the Magna Carta and some excellent lyrics for a rap song.

Well, write the OS yourself, release it as English, and be sure to add an "American" English keyboard for us ignorant bastards.
Exactly. If their country could make something like the iPad, THEN they can criticize the USA.
We in America spell "Brisith" differently. I didn't realize that this was due to confusion.
it's that damn lisp...

But yeah.. Set the language to "British English".
Thanks for the advice, I never tried it before. Very interesting, British English gives me squiggly lines when I type 'dentist' or 'automobiles'
Best one all day!
And the British would be speaking German if it wasn't for the Americans.
Yes indeed.
And the Americans would too be speaking German, if not for Stalin. Just saying.

?Other" should be iOS. How it got to 4GB, i have no idea.
Yes indeed.

If you wanted to get technical we would have been speaking Roman (italian/latin?) long before that.
And if that was the case we would have just invaded France and then surrendered.
Hail Mussolini
?Other" should be iOS. How it got to 4GB, i have no idea.
its also, stuff like files stored in goodreader.app or MiTube.app etc.

You only speak English because of the English.

I understand American Spanish, but who in the world speaks "American French"?
The French-speaking province of Quebec is in North America.
They have a very strong accent there and apparently speak some weird version of 17th century French (or so I am told).
Golden Master doesn't seem to mean what it once did...
Interestingly enough Apple has been using the term "golden master" to describe release candidates since the early 90s so nothing has changed.
you don't need to wait for iOS 4.2, half way through this thread is the solution for the current iPad OS

Here's what they said
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Keyboards
3. Select International Keyboards
4. Select 'Add new Keyboard'
5. Select 'English (UK)
6. Go back to Keyboards and Select EDIT (top right hand corner)
(you should have 2 keyboards showing now and the bottom one will be English (UK)
7. Drag that one (English (UK)) to the top - first selection
8. Go back to General
9. Select International
(made certain that Language reads ENGLISH and check that Keyboards has 2 registered and that English (UK) is still the first selection.
Thus is not the first time the Prof. has complained and instructed as you have above on how to resolve his issue.
