This is really important - the quality and readability of our user manual

Thank you very much Willem for writing such a clear and thorough user
manual. It looks great, and I only found one typo. 11.2. Dowload from DC.
Are you sending a patch?
Being very very nitpicky, I noticed in section 14.1 that you spelt
"behaviour" correctly, but earlier in you wrote "center" in American. I
assume (but have no objection if we don't) we should be adopting American
English throughout.
Correct, we agree on American English for all documentation. Again, a
patch would be most helpful.
Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. I depart from the assumption that there is
only one English language (my second language). Whatever else is used is
just corruption of the English language. Since starting with the manuals
I have attempted to be consistent because true English is spoken in many
more countries than in the US and we want to avoid US-centric
documentation. A significant part of the user base is in Europe.
Therefore, for instance, no verbs with z's, etc. If I had a choice, I
would correct the "center".
Kind regards,
willem
