Yeah, but it depends on what flavour of the English language you use.

:	change from "acknowledgement" to "acknowledgment" in
:reasonable places. Add "acknowledgment" to /usr/dict/words to prevent
:future embarassment.

I am sure that if you went travelling through the tree you would find
more than one set of spelling and grammar.  Embarassment?  From what?
That more than people from the U.S.A. have contributed to parts of NetBSD?
I would say that judgement is some flawed and needs reassessment.
Will you correct all my spelling too :-)
