Subject: [PATCH] 2.5.61 yet more pedantry: complement vs compliment.
Date: 15 Feb 2003 22:09:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1045372175.5611.121.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

A compliment is an expression of esteem, respect, affection, or
admiration.  As far as I can tell, this word does not yet have a
place in the kernel source.  

A complement on the other hand, is what is meant in the following
places.  Diffed against 2.5.61 up through cset 1.1043.

Steven
