IMO, this would be exactly the kind of problems that should be
discussed in the kde-doc-english / proofreader mailing list because
they mainly consist of native speakers.

As soon as the discussion arrives at a solution to a given problem it
should be presented to the developers, posted on a web site and finally
applied to the code files. Maybe we could also come to a common
spelling for "email" this way and maybe even arrive at a decision to
call certain things either "directories" or "folders" some day ...
