Subject: | bug#1476: 23.0.60; spelling of (un)writeable should be (un)writable |
Date: | Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:46:27 -0500 |
User-agent: | Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/23.0.60 (gnu/linux) |
> FWIW the OED says both are fine: That doesn't make it undesriable to try and only use one of the two. `grep' seems to indicate that `writable' is used a lot more right now in Emacs. Google seems to think that the same is true for the part of the Internet about which it cares. So I agree that it's good to change occurences of "writeable" to "writable". It's not a high priority, tho. So let's only do it when it's easy and harmless (e.g. not for global variables and things like that). Stefan
