hi
i noticed several places of bad spelling, like "is" written as "are": http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tdelibs/tree/CMakeLists.txt
| tde_message_fatal( "ltdl.h are required, but not found on your system" | )
should be written as
| tde_message_fatal( "ltdl.h is required, but not found on your system" )
and so on for all items which are singular not plural...
and "informations"! info is uncountable, therefore it's always "info" and "information" http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging "Branch Informations " should be written as "Branch Information" explanation: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=215770
Thank you for the warning! I am aware that I have used 'are × is' several times (copy & paste the code from Serghei) and although I wondered about it, I let it be so.
The question is, who will fix it?
I guess we will end up fixing these kind of errors as we come across them, unless someone wants to prepare a list of errors. Cheers Michele
