I cringe every time I see loose' used where lose' is intended. Here's a fix for the few that escaped the attentions of the spelling mafia...

Me too, however...

After a brief conversation with Andrew, Trivial Patch Monkey is only taking patches for documentation and where grep might be effected. Feel free to push this directly though.

Rusty.

then it qualifies.
Who would grep for 'loose' when it should be 'lose' and v.v.?

I was thinking of something like a variable name, (eg. foo_close was misspellt as foo_klose) then someone might be greping for "close" functions and miss it.

Or if the documentation for the foo card talked about the "Dunlap Enable" feature, and it was misspellt "Donlap" in the code or comments, it'd be nice to be fixed.

But the lose/loose one is a stretch, I think.

Cheers,
Rusty.
