Fix typos in documentation and code comments which repeat various words.
Thanks.
These typos were found by searching using scripts like this:
for w in $(grep '^....$' /usr/share/dict/words)
do
git grep -P "\b$w $w\b"
done
This is clarifying and somewhat puzzling at the same time.
It says that doubled words that span across line folding, and
doubled words that do not have exactly a single space in between,
have gone undetected (which is fine and may be useful information)
by showing that it grepped for lines that has doubled words. But it
also says that you only looked for four-letter words, which I do not
believe is the case (you fixed "the the", for example), which is
misleading. The "like this" part can be an excuse for that
Indeed. Basically, it was several scripts with different lists
of words. I considered writing:
for w in <list of words>
do
git grep -P "\b$w $w\b"
done
but opted for an explicit example of a script used, which may
be reused later.
inaccuracy, but then the whole thing pretty much has already been
summarized nicely with your first line already, i.e. "which repeate
various words". If you update it the end part of the sentence to
"which repeat various words on the same line",
Since v2, I've written a script to also check sentences which span
several lines. I'll send out a v3 with a bunch more fixes.
then the entire
paragaph can go without losing clarity.
Not a huge deal, though.
The changes themselves all look good to me. Thanks. Will apply.
