Whether you agree or not, some people judge a product in part by the quality of its documentation. Spelling mistakes detract from that quality, and since it takes only a few minutes with a spellchecker to find and fix them, the effort does seem worth it to me. You might consider that statements such as the above only discourage people from taking such efforts. Regarding American vs. British spelling, my spellchecker flagged the latter, so I did a quick grep to see which was the more prevalent in the rest of the documentation and made them all the same for consistency. It doesn't matter to me which we use, but my vote would be that we use one form consistently rather than mix them. -- Michael Fuhr ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
