Description Nicolas Kaiser 2004-08-07 12:17:23 UTC

I had a look at ebuild DESCRIPTIONs with a spellchecker, and found a number of typos.

I'll attach a sorted list.
Please consider fixing some of them.

Cheers,

Both are accepted, c.f. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Queue#Intransitive_verb and numerous other e-dictionaries.

I don't want to get into an spelling war, but I can't merit going back and changing the spelling if both forms are accepted even if the original change was not necessary.
