Dohhh! I wish we had done that before I added all those terms to the
dictionaries. If the cleanup is that good it would be better to start
again with empty dictionaries. But I agree this is a *much* better
approach than adding all those commandline and script terms to the
dictionary. Still, at least we have cleaned up some poor English usage
from the docs in the process :)
