change $datum to $value

Ocramius commented 9 years ago

What do you have against denglish? :-(

ThaDafinser commented 9 years ago

Personally nothing :wink:

weierophinney commented 9 years ago

This is a completely unnecessary change. The verbiage used is directly from what the SPL uses, and is a valid English word.

I was actually going to merge this :-\

I'd rather we focus on changes that have an impact: fixing bugs, adding useful features. I don't see the point of changes like these; in time, somebody else will send a new PR changing it back, or to different verbiage, for no reason other than personal preference. The simplest path is to leave it as is. On Jun 16, 2015 8:06 AM, "Marco Pivetta" notifications@github.com wrote:

Denglish? The word "datum" is not used in Dutch as a plural for data. We always use the word "data" and don't have a singular word for it. You could call it Dutch frugality :smile: The word "datum" is always used as a translation for the English word "date" (as in day/month/year).

Ocramius commented 9 years ago

@Martin-P "Denglish" refers to "Deutsch-English", not "Dutch-English": Dutch is already Denglish to some degree :P

Lol, I get lots of articles about Dutch-English when searching for Denglish. Must be personalised search results based on my location. Dutch is almost English nowadays :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
