I see. I think it's an old grammar rule which isn't followed as strictly 
nowadays (see the column Sebastion referenced). For what it's worth, I 
can't remember learning it at school, but I agree, that doesn't mean 
anything. Maybe I did and forgot afterwards. It has been twelve years since 
my last English exam :)

Anyway, IMO we should just settle on an MPlayer-documentation-rule, just 
like the rule for sentences without a verb, et cetera. ", too." might look 
weird to me, but if it's an age-old rule or tradition, I think we should 
settle for that. Not that I'm conservative, but concerning language, I 
might be a bit :)
