Thanks for the nice reply and perspective.   Debian is a big
English-based international project; typos make things harder.  For
example some (human) man page translators might use computer translation
to help translate a long manual into their own language.   Which
(indirectly) slows things down for the many excellent programmers in
non-english speaking countries.  

Or at least that's my theory; thanks again for the corroboration.
