Re: [PLUG] a question for our times

Dismount is from the perspective of the rider (or drive).  Unmount would be from the horse's (computer's) perspective. The computer is doing the action, so I would think it's "Dismount".

I just installed Truecrypt and encrypted a usb drive (as we all should).  When I was done, the Truecrypt button was marked DISMOUNT.

As far as I know, one dismounts a horse.  One unmounts (or umounts) a drive.

Must I have my local grammar nazi contact Truecrypt or is this acceptable use?
