Ghandi --> Gandhi

Why we have a signature here?

Well, it's not really necessary but I don't think it hurts anything.

Pharamp said that she wanted to have it deleted in the French sentence comments.

I think that it adds a bit of variety. Quotes are often presented like this.

Personally, I think it should be removed from all the sentences. Quotes are often presented like this because it's normally the only way to display the author. But Tatoeba has tags, and maybe someday, metadata.

The idea was to add some variety. It's probably the only quote like this.

It probably makes sense to change this.
