    “us/them” mentality doesn’t help much. this is surely a great fuss for a 3 year old pr but you’re misrepresenting the situation:

    • serenityOS (and consequently ladybird) has rather strict rules about wording documentation: they enforce language style and even date formats
    • that wasn’t a report, but a PR: rather than pressing ~50 keys on your keyboard and then a “lock” button he could have just pressed the “merge” button and integrated those ~10 total characters changes
    • github issues are routinely used to fix wording: documentation often lives on git and it’s useful to have it version controlled, even plain documents without attached source are kept on git so that their edit history is accessible and manageable

    folks are making a big fuss but Andreas really set himself up: just say sorry and change 4 words, such a weird horse to die on
