Hello all,

<rant>This is just a minor rant to point out that I believe someone has
gone overboard with the spelling fixes, and is now needlessly changing
sentences, and also introducing documentation bugs. Ie in
linux/arch/i386/boot/setup.S:

-! Routine to print asciiz-string at DS:SI
+! Routine to print ASCII string at DS:SI

Also, for actual docmentation could people please refer to the author of
the docment for a change beyond just a misspelled word? These documents
are attributed to the *author*, and unless you add yourself to the list of
those who make changes to the text, making a change to the doc's style is
somewhat offensive.</rant>
