-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hey For those of you who have not seen it, there was filed a bug against Lintian in Ubuntu requesting Lintian to catch the misspelling "allows to"[1]. Unfortunately, there do not seem to be an "always correct" replacement[2]. I have attached a patch that uses [correction is context dependent] as correction (it intentionally do not pass the spelling-multiword, so you can see the output by running that test). The question is... can we do better than this? ~Niels [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608231 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/608231/comments/2 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNJaj/AAoJEAVLu599gGRCJnwP+QHj5jCXClFov+J0aLBIBVhz ikjz8Ui1qoofkTUpNUL7HP51YoMjjlpmVuEc9AkJAhQwO9KIwJVdn79SW4avQ9n0 KjUhwnePwL60hOZXXdAXDhkHlgrfdWT4+jWq3+fx+OwQF8SwdTk7TCCR6sTdqqtK RavP2Ti6juGO6XEn38aH3FcJtKpgxP+A3RHimRU40Yh7A8Oc1L05OMKoUsoqHrH0 7Eg+Vu6hCiJe0ZW14WvVPqKxKDevGCiOMkPmyqPIKnVIKw3AmWeY9LsmXkziX+CW RJ1MUMPjH3vmlG7MrYL3GURH4FR/3b+3pWg2ClR8i3/b4qdHr0N9gJWNomKaAv7K lY7Q/TDWoGAbDzUg1XPC4nsBivSNJLCgHc0s6tdv7Ja7HvSy3ybc3UbTCfRVO21G FA0DN25hReAE9SP+E100sUZQ5Jh1Zt9xGUxSFjQpoXeO36+PYS06JuZWSJzMta+S z2hP3RuEb8/bkz4BElMOlclgMaQP+VIS9RDY8fSmU5dxlLZGlweusE3QBxntXIAZ 47/MDR8etbVdI+6i39I5Z8VKeV0grCi0Q/pRFkHtGAlzeX1zBHWoiQC74HWdc6SU JVWJbM1yNRzKLwZkWD9cCZk9L6BVj6N7epXxXI6CosH3jW9Zn23Zsjnrqdwj+//W z2w5MpkUIyXluOegBKYI =Qe5i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
