en-US and en-GB differ on this string. Is this intentional?
(In reply to comment #1) > en-US and en-GB differ on this string. Is this intentional? > Absolutely, because it's much more natural for a British English speaker to use "go forwards". I note that the reporter has a .ca email address. Perhaps this is a case where en-CA usage follows en-US, not en-GB. Marking INVALID, since "forwards" is correct usage.
