Yes, I noticed.  Maybe that's because you're German and like long button names
that don't fit on the screen?  ;-) I like shorter names, always have..  In fact
waaaay back when I graduated from highschool my quote in the senior yearbook
was something like "fu cn rd ths u cn gt a gd jb n cmptr prgmng".

I really wouldn't fight about this.  I think the names are too long, but they
aren't evil. 

Unlike complexified pseudo-english contructifications, exemplar gratis
"normalize", manifested in an adjectivial sense when the corrected way to
utilizationize them would be in a verbical sense for a passivized voice
contrucification or as a passivized participialized adjectivication, and the
corrected method would be a simplified adjectivication like "normal".


Translation to normal English:

  Unlike complex pseudo-english constructs, e.g. "normalize", used as an
  adjective when the correct way to use them would be as a verb for a sentence
  in the passive voice, or as a passive participial adjective, and the correct
  word would be a simple adjective like "normal".
