i was reading our Constitution, and §5.1.4 states: "Make any decision for whom noone else has responsibility."
"noone" is a non-word [0], and while i doubt it'll ever be the basis of a court ruling or anything, "no one" was correctly used in the language added to 6.3.6 by Constitution v1.8, and another instance of "noone" was removed from §A.1.6. so unless it requires a vote or something, it should probably be fixed? i submitted an MR to doc-debian [1], but given that we're currently shipping the old Constitution v1.7 to /usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.txt.gz [2], that doesn't seem quite authoritative. who would i report this bug to? "project" pseudo-package, as suggested in [3]? --nick [0] https://writingexplained.org/noone-or-no-one-difference https://grammarist.com/spelling/no-one-noone/ etc [1] https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/doc-debian/-/merge_requests/1 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%23839709 [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=210879 -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe.
