Subject: [PATCH] minor doco spelling fixes
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 07:56:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <560BCDDE.2050000@apjanke.net> (raw)
Hi, Zsh folks,
Found a couple typos etc in the doco; here's a suggested fix.
- Spelling error in README
- Inconsistent "OS's" vs "OSes" in MACHINES
- Inconsistent "behavior" vs "behaviour" spelling
- Updated URL for Yodl project; it moved off SourceForge
Also, the LICENCE file still says "copyright (c) 1992-2009".
Cheers,
Andrew
