[Koha-devel] items.wthdrawn

[Thomas Dukleth]

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.
