This

is more clear this way IMO:
> /usr/ports/Mk/Scripts/qa.sh:			err "Package names are not uniquified with flavors:"

I don't think "uniquified" is a word.

Wiktionary doesn't lie. :-)

(I am an auto-confirmed user there, that's how I know.)

It's slang. Slang and idioms are very difficult for non-native English speakers. It's always better to avoid slang in messages.

In this case, it conveys a more precise meaning.

I removed the "slang" label from it in there, so it's not a slang any more. :-)

It makes mentoring very difficult when you argue points after you've gotten a firm answer.

If I make a mistake, by all means correct me---I've praised you when you've done so. But when you're told no, reflect and learn from it, and please stop trying to prove a point.

I've told you in private email that I am spread incredibly thin right now. I'd thought that you'd respond by streamlining your requests. Despite what I have going on, I'm trying to give you attention too, and I need you to respect that.

Uniquified isn't a word. It's not going into an Mk/ message. Close the PR, or update the patch.
