[Gimp-docs] Distort filters - or Distorts filters?

2010-05-14 Thread Ulf-D. Ehlert
Hi,

a question to our native speakers:

what's the correct spelling, "Distort" or "Distorts" (with "s") 
filters?

The GIMP manual is talking about "Distort" filters for several years, 
while the GIMP menu entry reads "Distorts". (IMHO, the latter is a 
bug...)


TIA,
Ulf

Distort filters is correct. (Filters that distort)

Distorts is correct for the menu entry. (A number of distort filters)

Hmm, but what about filters that blur, enhance, combine, map, or
render?

Interesting question!

Perhaps it should be 'Distort' to conform with the other entries. So
it seems to me that;

Blur is being used as a verb (eg, Select from this list to blur), so
to conform with the others, you are correct, it should be "Distort"
