I have realized that in the past american readers of this list have been
misinformed when I have been writing about that big animal that they
name "moose". I have been using the british english name "elk" which I
now understand americans use for the _stag_.
In fact the american moose (the animal, not the word)is _not_ exactly the
same as the european elk, so I used the name "elk" to distinguish, not
knowing that it could be wrongly interpreted.

So, what is the official language on this list?

:-) Hans
