What is your opinion on > "dependant" and similar words I've left out? dependant is flagged as wrong in US dictionary (only valid in UK dictionary, and even then, it has only the financial sense and not the inter-relatedness sense that we are more prone to be wanting throughout code). There is no word 'independant' in either variant. So another patch to s/\(\(in\)\?depen\)dant/\1dent/ would be correct. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
