SubjectRe: Weird spelling fixes in 2.1.107
The wholesale spelling and grammar changes really need to backed out.

I have received several e-mails from clients who I have been
cultivating towards Linux for several years and they were just now
coming around. They are working with the development kernels
since they are either porting legacy software to Linux and hope to
roll out the ports when Linux 2.2 comes out, or writing new code
that would roll out when Linux 2.2 comes out.

The basic question all the e-mails have had in common is what
are we (the linux community) doing when someone is "allowed" to
make "capricious" changes without regard as to what will "break".

Whoever is responsible for this "spelling and grammar crusade"
may have made a giant step for spelling and grammar but have
caused several clients to now question the use of Linux.

Please whoever appointed the person responsible for checking
spelling and grammar have a chat with that person.

I do not have an answer, but please consider backing out all
the spelling and grammar patches.
