[meteorite-list] Meteorite: world dictionary-in progress

[Jose Campos]

Hi Dirk,

That sounds like an interesting project!
I can confirm that in Portuguese, the word " meteorito " is correct.
I would like to add that in its plural form, is " meteoritos ".

However, on the list of languages given in your site, there is a minor 
error, in english,  for the word " Portugese " - obviously, it should have 
been written
 " Portuguese ".

As a matter of interest: Other Portuguese meteorite related words:

meteoroid   -   meteoroide
meteor         -   meteoro
bolide          -   bólide
fireball         -   bola de fogo
smoke trail  -   rasto de fumo
magnitude  -   magnitude

On another note: Iam sorry that I could not activate the "Visitor's Map " 
shown at the bottom of your page. I dont know why.
Keep well,
