It doesn't look like it's made any incorrect changes, but it's certainly
missed a lot. For instance, it catches "transfering" but not
"transfered". (No, "transfere" isn't a word.)
A lot of the mistakes are very common:
- Choosen isn't a word; it's chosen.
- Transferred and transferring have a double-R.
- Occurred also has two r's.
I have often caught myself misspelling occurred (among other words)
recently; perhaps it's because i've been reading the Freeciv
sources!
