I see somebody's posting a few fix-typo-in-comments patches, e.g. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048099.html http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048101.html
That reminds me that I worked out some time ago how to find such typos efficiently. At the risk of encouraging lots of silly typo-fixing patches, I've documented the process here: http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/ For instance, to find typos in comments in shell32, you can do: sudo apt-get install ispell wget http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/stop.txt wget http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/lspell-pl.txt -O lspell.pl perl lspell.pl stop.txt ~/wine-git/dlls/shell32/*.[ch] This outputs: /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/autocomplete.c: 1 dispays /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/brsfolder.c: 1 relativ /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/dataobject.c: 1 droping /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/iconcache.c: 1 resoure /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/pidl.c: 1 relativ /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/pidl.h: 1 desribes /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/shell.c: 1 incidently /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/shfldr_fs.c: 1 spezified /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/shfldr_unixfs.c: 4 appart relativ savely should'nt /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/shlexec.c: 1 foward /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/shlfileop.c: 2 ERRROR INVLID /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/shlfolder.c: 1 whitch /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/shlview.c: 2 buily provied /home/dank/wine-git/dlls/shell32/trash.c: 1 DESCRITION
