Well, "ç" and "ã" do not exist in us-ascii codepage. In any case, some e-mail programs do use it (sorry, but it's a good analogy, no offence intended). What I mean is that I have head people saying "Autentificação" more then one. Probably for the same reason europeans use Autentification in english. There gotta me some kind of origin for this generalised misuse of more then one language. []s On Mon, Apr 29, 2002 at 07:07:04PM -0700, David Gadelha wrote:
Hummm, "Autentifica??o"?, sorry Rodrigo, such word doesn't exists on pt_BR. According to one of our main dictionaries, the Aurelio, we must always use "Autentica??o - n. f. the act of authenticate". --- Rodrigo Barbosa <rodrigob () tisbrasil com br> wrote:Actualy, depending of the use of the word, it can also be "Autentifica??o" in pt_BR. Then again, I'm not sure you would find it in a dictionary. Maybe it's only slang, and we are back on the same problem.

There is no such word,"authentification."Not in American English, agreed. I didn'tmention this in my postbecause it was just a theory at the time, but itseems to be commonlyused by Europeans, and/or people who speak orwrite English as asecond language, not a native language. One might expect to see such minor differencesin an internationalforum. A search on Google for"authentification" illustrates thepoint.===== +----------------------------------------+-----------------+ |David Gadelha |Linux User# 66612| |Joao Pessoa - Paraiba - Brasil | Desde 1996| |"Free Your OS and your mind will follow"| Since 1996| +----------------------------------------+-----------------+ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
