In addition to that, i'm not convinced it's fair to call an accessibility
effort "futile".

No guarantee, but i might also consider doing it in OpenBSD base.
That corpus is roughly 85% larger than the Linux man pages project.
Of course, i need to find the time, and it requires that no OpenBSD
developers strongly object, but since it does improve accessibility,
i don't really expect that much opposition.

P.S.
The little troll inside me thinks that besides, wouldn't it be
wonderful if English spelling were as consistent and as easy to
learn as French spelling?  (No, i'm not proposing an English
spelling reform: that's not my department.)
