English is my native language. I would write "An SSL socket". I.e.
'an' and capitalised SSL. I would do that for the reasons Christian
referenced and also because this is what the RFC does.

Andrew and Henrik, if you still "I don't think" and "I still believe", can
you provide some evidence for you beliefs?

Fixing the Swenglish in the OTP docs is a good thing. Thanks for doing
it, Christian.
