Re: [Zope-dev] Offtopic: it's vs. its

I, for one, think that proper grammar in checkins, source code and wikis is wonderful, and beneficial in the same way as syntax highlighting in editors.

Agreed.

While reading Zope source in the past, I have, a couple of times, made diffs fixing niggly grammatical issues (I can be compulsive that way .. ) but have always refrained from submitting them as issues, because I was afraid they'd be considered noise. Is this a justified fear?

Indeed. If you have checkin perms, feel free to fix coding style and English grammar issues quietly. But trackers should be used for real coding issues. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
