Re: Codespell report for "gawk" (on fossies.org)

[arnold]

Hi.

Much thanks for this!  It's amusing to see some of the errors.
A number come from test cases written by non-English speakers. I suppose
I'll fix them just to help improve the score.

This is certainly a unique and unusual way to to contribute to
improving the quality of the code, but worthwhile.

Thanks!

Arnold
