Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix spelling for qemu-doc.texi and monitor.c
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 20:51:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <460D5C38.2080500@weilnetz.de> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 275 bytes --]
This patch fixes the usage of medium and media
in the documentation and in QEMU messages.
one CDROM = medium (not media)
two or more CDROMs = media (not medias)
Please correct me if I was wrong - I'm not a native
speaker but tried my best and looked at AskOxford.
Stefan
