I managed to get ~150 fixes in before version-1.4.0 was merged...


Wondering if it would be possible to also merge or cherry-pick:

  757a7978dd3de98d5bb033d27fd5a613038b4dc5
  gnu: trytond-*: Fix grammar.

  3c43f2b4f54dead73ce19427eb1e364581b7f2e0
  gnu: julia-bioalignments: Fix spelling.

That would fix a few more of these sorts of issues, and only affects
synopsis and description strings in small ways.


live well,
  vagrant
