Hello,
This patch against 2.6.18 fixes spelling errors detected
by running "aspell -H -c" on each .tmpl file in Documentation/DocBook
The next step is to run aspell on all regular text files
in the Documentation directory!
Michael.

On this side of the pond, many words lose their diacritical marks
after lots of usage. "Cooperate" has previously been hyphenated
(co-operate) or spelled with a diaeresis over the second 'o'.
They are now lost. So we can thank teletypes for that?
or laziness? could be.
Anyway, "Role" looks good to me.

That being said , until this thread I've never seen "role" spelled any
other way than "role", and I read a lot.
What does OED say?

Thank you all very much for your reviews!
In this particular case, I chose the American spelling because it
existed too in the same file (see
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl#1098).
I guess it is fine to have 2 different spellings for the same word in
the same document, right? Otherwise, arbitrating between the 2 options
can be pretty tricky.

To make sure I understand, shall I resend the patches with only the
acknowledged changes, or have you already committed the ones you
acknowledged?
Of course, next time, I will submit separate patch files as you recommended.
Thanks again!
:-)

It simply says role (or ro^le). The Oxford guide to style and Fowlers
have no opinion.
For co-op* words the style guides prefer the hyphen because it makes the
pronunciation clearer but doesn't strongly recommend. For cases where
there are clashing words (ie there is a co-foo, and cofoo is a different
word) it is required ot use the hypen.
Essentially: pick one and stick to it.

Its probably best to send them all again but split up by file. That way
it's easier to re-review.
