this is fine, as also pointed out by others, the strings inside
*parameter descriptions* will not affect actual use in any host
application, while correcting them will make the debian package look
better.

what should not be changed is filter names and parameter names.

interesting linguistic note. there is a filter in effectv by Fukuchi
Kentaro that could be ported and called this way, originally called
nervous, but quite much memory demanding.

BTW since you are a PD developer since long time, what are the wrappers
in pure-data that use frei0r? I recall there was something there. PiDiP?
