Fix typos

[lbm364dl]

No apostrophe when used as pronoun. I think I checked the whole project.

Sure, its shows possession, while it's is a contraction.

In any event, it might be a cleaner commit history if a soft reset was performed.

$ git reset --soft HEAD~2
$ git commit -m "fix typos"
$ git push -f origin patch-1
$

Can merging be postponed?

I have a few more changes not the least of which are the below.

I'll write up a shell script with GNU sed commands to implement the changes and Post it in a new comment.

One should be careful with considering typos in changelogs as sometimes they appear in the description of a PR.

@cderv

By the way are contributor's expected to sign a CLA?

@lbm364dl

I suppose you have access to a GNU sed version for in place file modification; macOS uses BSD sed.

These are just some example lines, not yet the promised shell script with the entirety of the suggested fixes.

How do you find the typos? I don't think it's just you searching random words, is it?

[musvaage]

For this Issue my comments pertain exclusively to the docs subdirectory.

I had cloned the repository and dumped strings from the docs subdirectory.

grep -o -E -r "\w+('\w+)*" quarto-web/docs | sort -u -f > output

cut -d : -f2 output | sort -u -f > strings

One can then filter out using whatever language one prefers certain strings resulting is a considerably smaller file.

[lbm364dl]

I added the other fixes you suggested. For the changelog ones I checked that the messages weren't part of the linked PR, so it should be fine.

[musvaage]

My personal preference which does not necessarily express the consensus of the Developers/Maintainers is where textual changes are to be implemented within a markdown table thereby obliging table adjustment, then the adjustment might as well align that table.

docs/interactive/ojs/shiny.qmd

Separately there's another location where it's as a contraction is mistakenly present rather than its showing possession.

I think the common approach is to not change lines that are not directly related to your PR (thus adding the space instead of removing one from all lines), but I can fix them if necessary, of course. I agree, let's let maintainers decide.

Somehow I missed that one, thank you.

[cscheid]

Thanks for the PR!

(No, we're not going to delay merging this, because these are already good improvements.)

(For sufficiently large contributions we do expect a signed CLA. We consider fixing typos valuable, but don't consider a CLA necessary in this case.)

@DimitriPapadopoulos

Perhaps there are some typos here or in the successor #1740 which could be added to the codespell corpus.
