Unfortunately the Handbook is our largest document, so standardizing on one will piss of the most people. I think we should stay away from any overall project standards and just let authors spell things how they choose. This only falls apart in our very large documents with many authors such as the Handbook. US-English is much more common throughout the Handbook, so I told Chern he could change a couple of English words to be consistent. Many words in the Handbook aren't spelled consistently in the same paragraph, much less throughout the entire book, and thats what we're trying to fix. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
