That depends on what assumptions you are making. I think the article is 
written towards those moving from GNOME or KDE to XFCE. Language is not an 
issue here, so we should assume that they are en_GB across the board.

In other words, we don't say "Trash can", we say "Wastebasket" or whatever we 
have decided to call it in our localisation.

"Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some 
fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products are 
one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've done 
more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they repeatedly lie 
to the public about their products' security, and because they do everything 
they can to convince people that the problems lie anywhere but inside 
Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities as public relations 
problems. Until that changes, expect more of this kind of nonsense from 
Microsoft and its products."
