Re: Some spelling corrections



Hello!

Thanks for your suggestions (even though you don't comment on anything
introduced in my patch, but only on issues not touched by me) :)

This issue isn't touched at all in this patch, all instances are left
as is for the moment.

Added, thanks.

There are 39 uses of [Ss]pecially in the English pages, so I rather
leave this for others.

This change is rather in style than in spelling. I think "wrt." might
stay...

I'm not sure, but my dictionary agrees. "into" sounds good to me,
though...

An updated patch can be found here:
<http://ernst.uni-hd.de/debian/english.diff> (161K)
or here:
<http://ernst.uni-hd.de/debian/english.diff.gz> (41K)


OK, if this patch won't find further review, here is how I'm going to
proceed:
I will commit these changes one after another (against my original
intentions), also bumping the translation-check header of all
corresponding translation in the process. Or are there any sections
where people frown upon foreign commits in their territory?
All unclear parts that will be left thereafter will be posted again as
a (hopefully) smaller patch.


Cheers,
Flo
