Synopsis: [patch] chio - incorrect spelling in license State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: arundel State-Changed-When: Sun Aug 14 10:43:06 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: thanks a lot for your patch.
however apart from bruce evan's comments, 'acknowledgements' is not spelled incorrectly. there are a huge number of cases in the src, where either british or american english is preferred. there's no reason to switching to a unified spelling in those cases. freebsd is an international project and so there's no reason to try to switch to either british or american spelling. forcing somebody to spell a certain word differently from what he is used to, isn't going to make people happy. of course *real* spelling mistakes (with a few exceptions) should be fixed. however this PR doesn't fall under that category. exceptions are e.g. cases, where spelling a certain word incorrectly is historic practise in computer science or the world of unix. another example are incorrect abbreviations, which are used to deal with tty space related matters. there are probably more cases present, where incorrect spelling is considered OK. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159752 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
