This patch fixes some of the obvious then vs. than typos.
Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovet...@gmx.de>
---
These are just some of the typos, that a simple grep for patterns like
"er,\? then\|more,\? then\|less,\? then"
catches. Of course, they have to be manually verified, they produce a few
false positives, but the success rate isn't too bad :-) Interestingly,
opposites like
"[^e].,\? than\|[^r],\? than"
find almost no real typos. The reader is invited to continue these fixes
;-)
