Okay.  You can expect it some time this week.

But what to choose then?  To leave it mixed is not an option, IMHO.

Find attached a patch for the remaining misspellings, grammar and 
indentation mistakes.  (IMO messages should always speak to the 
user, not to the developer.  And "too occupied" means mostly "too

Thanks by the way for changing the units to the SI standards.  :)
Only more one thing: SI also demands a space between value and unit.  
Just as one doesn't write 12kilometres, one doesn't write 12km, but 
12 km.  If you wish, I can make a patch for this too.
