Awn Extras

Bad spelling in Stacks Preferences

Bug #577792 reported by Joel Uckelman on 2010-05-09

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone

Bug Description

The text for the option under the "Paging" heading of the "Behavior" tab for the Stacks applet preferences is:

[ ] Use multiple pages when there are to many items

"to" is ungrammatical, it should be "too" instead:

[ ] Use multiple pages when there are too many items

This is a minor problem, but looks sloppy.

The version I spotted this in is awn-extras-applets-0.3.2.1-8.fc11.x86_64, from Fedora 11 (but I believe the problem still exists in Fedora 12 as well).

If you don't like the grammar file a bug report upstream.

I thought maybe you guys could do that. What good is this bug tracker if reporting bugs here doesn't get any action? Sigh...

Well you thought wrong!, currently I'm the only person working on awn.
I haven't got the spare time to fix some else's spelling mistakes

I spent in excess of 20 hours getting the build deps reviewed for the awn 0.4.0 update, hopefully this has fixed around a 100 awn bugs.

Thanks for filing a bug.

Awn Extras 0.3.2 is a bit old - our latest version is 0.4.0. Could you please check that version to see if the spelling error still exists there?
