Thanks for your query, but No. "Take on board" is correct. (Think of taking goods or people on board ship, & the cry "All aboard!") Though FreeBSD docs, manuals, & particularly mail lists etc abound in typos & bad grammar, People care more about getting the code right, so spelling mistakes often gets left, just fixed in passing if noticed. > if so, would it be helpful if i were to send any other typos i fine to this > address? > thanks for what you doshody No, - It would be inefficient - There's low reponse to commiting fixes from things reported to this particular list. - Lower response to typos (too much hastle for benefit) - Official way to report bugs is https://www.freebsd.org/support/bugreports.html- Its too much hastle all round for typos. - Being r dyslexic, further raises the cost/benefit ratio of filing & clearing spelling fixes. Best dont bother with that, instead do something more efficient, eg maybe: - correct tech facts in docs, & leave others to correct spellings - or write code. (if dyslexia does not affect ability to write code?). - or test new releases & current & report back, there's often calls for testers - or run a user goup - or organise install events etc Enjoy :-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, Consultant Systems Engineer, BSD Linux Unix, Munich Aachen Kent http://stolenvotes.uk Brexit ref. stole votes from 700,000 Brits in EU.
