Joseph, I hate to be a gadfly, but can you explain the rationale here?
Is there an ISO standard somewhere stipulating that incomplete and/or
incorrect documentation must also be misspelled, or that two wrongs
make a right?
For what it's worth, this sort of deliberate misspelling
(for documentation that's known to be incomplet and incorrekt)
is common. Our documentation is hardly the only place that
uses this convention.
Not a big deal either way, of course.
