Bug#852145: +1 for targetting



> targetted and targetting are valid alternative spellings

I agree -- in Crawl's upstream, we had a very lengthy flamewar about this
topic (that game's original author was an australian, thus .au spelling is
preferred):

* US uses -t- exclusively
* UK allows both although -t- is more prevalent than -tt- these days
* AU uses mostly -tt- but -t- is (per foreign influence) also often seen

Thus, it is a minority spelling, and it might even be reasonable for a
general purpose spelcheckar to complain -- usual spell checkers are expected
to have a fair rate of false positives.  It takes more work to ignore a
Lintian warning, though.

A dubious warning might be appropriate for functional problems; for
spelling, though, I'd suggest marking up only certain ones.


Meow!
