Mark's Quantal Quetzal announcement. is all over the web, sort of.
And already, "linux" journalists everywhere are boldly and incorrectly reporting the name. (Ignore for a minute that Ubuntu is not "linux", any more than your friend's Toyota Camry is a 2AZ-FE.)
Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
Did you spot the error in the original article? Probably not. TL;DR?
The author states: "Mark Shuttleworth has just announced the codename for the upcoming Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 12.10 will be called Quantal Quetzal."
The statement should read: "Mark Shuttleworth has just announced the codename for the upcoming Ubuntu release: Quantal Quetzal will become Ubuntu 12.10."
It's a subtle but important distinction. Pre-release versions of Ubuntu are given animal names. Released versions of Ubuntu are given numbers.
Please read that statement twice before writing your next "linux" article. Oh, and dropping the "L" word sure would be an added bonus. This is not the 90's. ;)
