452636 - Fix "a the" in comments

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

Iiuc, these should be either "a" or "the", not both.

The URL, as is, may not find them all, but is a very good start point.

Comment 1

[Matthew Knowlton]

a couple of them seem like simple typos of "at the" but some do seem rather odd.

Comment 2

[Edmund Wong (:ewong)]

This bug has been split into three different bugs for different products
for reviewing purposes.  

There are 3 more bugs that this bug depends on; but requires (AFAIK) 
upstream filing  (2 chromium entries, 1 sqlite entry and 1 freetype2 entry).
Additional comments on these bugs forthcoming.

Comment 3

[Edmund Wong (:ewong)]

The Chromium part of this bug has been fixed without bug #585403's url's issue being resolved so it has been marked invalid.  

The SQLite bug (not filed) is irrelevant since the occurrences of ' a the ' in the SQLite code has been fixed.

As of this writing, there remains a freetype2 bug and a plethora of comm-central and mozilla-central bugs and a libffi bug(which, afaicr, requires upstream review).

Correction.  It hasn't been fixed.  Will file a new bug on this.

Since all dependent bugs are fixed.  Closing this tracking bug.
