Google Code-in

This task involves finding and fixing simple spelling mistakes (not grammar, punctuation, etc). To complete the task, you need to find 5 or more different spelling mistakes in at least 5 different files. You have to fix all occurrences of the spelling mistake across all those files. Make sense? Sound's easy, but you might be surprised!

Maintaining a high quality of source code and documentation is a never ending task, but one anyone can help with. We only care about spelling mistakes within comments. For XML/HTML documentation, much of it is formatted and you have to also ignore any tags.

BE SURE TO HAVE UP-TO-DATE SOURCES!!! That means from a checkout. We will be fixing (and introducing) spelling mistakes throughout GCI. You have to find mistakes that are not already fixed.

To clarify:

• 1 mistake in 7 different files counts as: 1 and 7
• 20 mistakes in 2 files counts as: >5 and 2
• 5 mistakes across 20 files counts as: 5 and >5
• You need to find: >=5 mistakes AND >=5 files

SUBMIT a list of files and what misspellings are in each OR submit a patch file with corrections made.
