Relax, this is not a spelling patch.
I was curious how fast spelling errors flow into the kernel, so I
looked at the + lines in the 2.6.2 patch. A few of the errors
already existed, but most of them are new. It turns out that there
are around 200 new spelling errors in 2.6.2.
A "wether" (castrated goat) has appeared, along with a "Rusell" that
should be stamped out before it spreads. Someone had a dreadful time
with "technology" and its variants, spelling it wrong 9 different ways.
Here's what I found:

Has anybody done this for 2.4.x (or even 2.2.x, 2.0.x, etc...).
Linux is good but... it should be 'pretty' too ;))
And of course, excuse my english O:)

Amazing (to me). It's a good thing that we have a compiler to

Before all the bizzare mispels are dealed with, let me
beg for "dont" and "cant" be pardoned. We dont enforce
"double space after period" and "always terminate log messages
with a period" rules, because those do no good and
cant lead to misinterpretations anyway.
Dunno why, but /me thinks the same applies to donts and cants.
And I just feel that ' is a string delimiter and "don't" hurts
my eye.

Where's the compiler for the spelling? ;-)
cpp -spell
gcc -spell

Concur, pleae lets allow dont and cant.
Can we have a rule that periods terminating kernel messages
are depreciated?

Just wastes space on the line, should this be depreciated?

Concur,
As to printing numbers, which form to use?
Should numbers in parenthesis be depreciated?
printk("Count is (%d)\n");
What about colons?
printk"Count is: %d\n");
Or just straight and simple:
printk("Count is %d\n");
Numbers in a sentence:
printk("Size %d is too big, adjusted to %d\n");
printk("Size %d is too big, adjusted to: %d\n");
Regards
Michael
