But for me "_K_Basket(s)" means "Basket(s) _for KDE_" (the owning to the
KDE project).
My current name is BasKet with the upper 'K' : that's uggly :-)
And Basket (with lower 'k') seem too common, isn't it ?
My french friends understands that I play in a basket team when they see
the homepage adress :-D
It can be confused with a basket game for KDE, isn't it ?

Oh OK !
I'm not a native english speaker, and I don't know that !

1 vote for plural => null match :-/

Now, I tend to rename it to KBaskets...
With this name I thing it willn't be confused with a sport or a game
(with the K*, and with the plural) and it's a KDE program, as all other
KDE programs.

Which are KDE programs that not begin with a K ??

Is KBaskets (with the 's') too difficult to pronounce correctly in
english ?
Or is it acceptable ?
In french I don't see any problems...
