New submission from Mark Dickinson <[email protected]>: Here's a patch that represents the result of grepping through the source for some of my favo(u)rite spelling errors.
Georg, I reali(z/s)e that most of these fixes are outside the Doc/ directory, but are you interested in taking a look at these? Please unassign if not. Two notes: - I'm pretty sure that all of these are genuine errors. The only one that may be controversial is 'builtin -> built-in' (when used as an adjective). The 'Apple Publications Style Guide' seems to use built-in in preference to builtin. I also think I missed a few of these. - My (American English) spell-checker complains about 'signalled', but it looks fine when I put my British English eyes in. The docs contain instances of both 'signalled' *and* 'signaled'. Is there any consensus on whether American English or British English should be used for Python's documentation? (Should also check for 'signalling' versus 'signaling'.) ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation files: spellings.patch keywords: patch messages: 82577 nosy: georg.brandl, marketdickinson priority: low severity: normal status: open title: A selection of spelling errors and typos throughout source versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13147/spellings.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5341> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
