Well Peter is not alone.  I saw that a week or so ago and I couldn't 
figure out what the heck any of it meant.  Sort of reminds me of what 
euse -i gives me, Greek or may as well be anyway.  Most of them doesn't 
make much sense unless you already know what they are, then you have no 
need to look.

I usually go to the forums and search around to see what things mean.  I 
just forgot to do that in this case.

So, all that said, what the heck are we supposed to change here?
