RE: Spellchecking of manuals

Hi Simon,

Just to give you a longer list, the complete output including file
references and duplicates is appended. The German spellchecker output is
three times as long as the english, if that gives you some comfort ;)

OK, so that goes into the english term base, not into the common one.

That means the source should be fixed.

Me too. There's also "TortoiseSVN's"

So they have to go into the english term base as well.

I'd like to get the term base into a state where it helps me to find typos
or inconsistent spelling. Until now the output (700 "errors") is just too
long to be helpful.
