Eek!  No, English "lie" isn't like that.  It's simply a "false
statement" [Collins 1985] but I see now that US English attaches a
deliberate intent to deceive [Webster 1913].  Two peoples, divided by
a common language...

(Hey, why are you using centuries-drifting US English instead of
English English?  That would be like me using Quebec French... ;-) )

To be clear, I don't mean anyone posted the above as deception, but it
is now chock-full of false statements that koha.org is making.

Is it OK if I remove the false statements and request republication?

Thanks,
