[ESPResSo-devel] "steer" and "analyzation"

Hello!

As ESPResSo is increasingly used outside Mainz and Frankfurt, and
nowadays spreads to native English countries, I'd like to point out two
common errors that are often made in the ES community, be it in
mailings, in articles, or in the ES docs. Some might call me a quibbler,
some might point out that my English is by far not perfect, too, but I
think these two things are so central to ES that we should erase them:

1. There is no English word "analyzation"! The correct word is "analysis".

2. The "steering level" of ES sounds pretty strange. A better word would
be the "control level", or maybe the "command level".
Steering is the way to control a car by means of the steering wheel,
i.e. to give it a direction ("lenken"). Also, you can say that you
"steer the affairs of someone/something" ("Geschicke leiten/lenken").
I've cross-checked this with a number of dictionaries, e.g.

http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&sectHdr=on&spellToler=on&search=steer&relink=on

Best regards from the local quibbler
        Olaf
