I fully agree with fixing those. The cover-letter, however, gave the impression that that was not the main purpose of this series; just, perhaps, a happy side-effect. > You seem quite knowedgeable about the various differences.

For instance, I place spaces around an em dash, which is nonstandard according to most style guides. Really this is an individual enough thing that I'm not sure we could have a "kernel style guide" that would be more useful than general-purpose guidance like the page you linked. Moreover, such a guide could make non-native speakers needlessly self- conscious about their writing and discourage them from contributing documentation at all. I'm not advocating here for trying to push kernel developers towards an eats-shoots-and-leaves level of linguistic pedantry; rather, I merely think that existing correct usages should be left intact (and therefore, excising incorrect usage should only be attempted by someone with both the expertise and time to check each case). But if you really want such a doc I wouldn't mind contributing to it. -ed _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
