Yes, that's what I mean...

New ones: at module "io", there's the string "%s: Wrong type for input
argument #%d: A string."
I suppose, it ends "A string (was) expected"

@"linear-algebra" module:
"%s: Wrong values for input argument #%d: Non-negative scalar expected."

valueS? So, it should be scalarS?

Another issue:
- first/second argument, first/second dimension.
Like French, Portuguese has gender... and they're different for such
cases above.
- primeirO/segundO argumento, primeirA/segundA dimensão.

Therefore, the use of "%s argument is wrong" and "%s dimension is
wrong" causes a little orthographic/grammatic trouble here... Any
work-around?

Best regards,
Rodolfo
