Repeating spelling errors only complicates coding and requires excessive attention to past mistakes. Joshua Ferraro had agreed with me when we discussed that point two or three months ago. The arrangement which I made with Joshua over spelling errors in column names which were used in the MARC frameworks was that I would correct spelling errors in the frameworks and he would ensure that the spelling errors were corrected in the rest of the code. Fixing the spelling errors throughout the code should require only a simple script. Leaving spelling errors is only likely to promote future errors in coding as uncorrected spelling errors accumulate. Eventually, a special dictionary of Koha would be required if errors go uncorrected.

Hi,

Alas, the withdrawn status column in the items table is called 'wthdrawn', not 'withdrawn'. This is observed in most places in the code except for (as I discovered) some of the MARC 21 framework initialization SQL.

I'm going to replace references to 'items.withdrawn' with 'items.wthdrawn'. While I would prefer to spell the column correctly, sticking with 'wthdrawn' for now affects rather fewer files. I'll wait for 3.2 to rename the column.
