>Description:
Our copyrights frequently say "acknowledgement" instead of
"acknowledgment". This is embarassing.
We cannot change other people's copyrighted files, but any TNF
copyright files or contributor files can be fixed.
>How-To-Repeat:
Examine a few of our copyright notices (and BSD copyrights in
general).
>Fix:
change from "acknowledgement" to "acknowledgment" in
reasonable places. Add "acknowledgment" to /usr/dict/words to prevent
future embarassment.
