(If you are capable of fluently speaking more than 1 language then I commend you).

In most languages nouns have a sex, ein hose, eine rock etc, I believe English used to be like this too, many hundreds of years ago. So there is genuine method to calling Meago (lol) a he, as it would probably be a masculine word in the OP's native tongue.

Fair enough it may not be obvious, but don't jump down the guys throat over his fairly good attempt at English, it may discourage him next time.

I speak 4 languages. And english is my third language. But I do apologise if it sounded like I was attacking his language skills.

But I will not apologise for the other comment. This is a forum for Tablet enthusiasts. There is a certain constraint that its members should have - including not spamming the forums with advertisements, unfriendly comments and just plain trolling.
What this member, and other new members need to learn is how to make effective use of the help others can give. Asking questions which themselves dont know what answer they need is not helpful. I consider it spam.

It doesn't matter if you're a native english speaker or not. The least you can do is to use google or the forum search. Every "new members start here" and "read this before posting" thread has search before you post in big fat letters.

There is a big difference between not speaking english fluently and being an ignorant, lazy dumbf*ck.

Maemo.org english class !

No, it's "MeeGo" and trademark law is there for this very reason ;-)

For the sake of the friggin search function, "meego" will suffice.

Any more hairs to split?!

Ummmm hi guys,
I am actually looking for a useful forum for meego and this one just waisted my time.
I see a lot of people being jerks and no one being helpful.
this even discourages people like me who are are not new to the nokia tablets.

http://www.meego.com will get you far more information on MeeGo than you will find here. Mind you, it's almost entirely very technical information as MeeGo is not ready for end users yet.

So you came to a Maemo forum looking for Meego stuff? That's a bit like going to an Audi website looking for Ford stuff!

Anyway, sorry we're all unhelpful jerks :)
