"ell"
Thanks. This was copied from elsewhere. I'll audit those as well
after this is in.
As promised.. There is only one other instance of "el" or "ell" in
the manuals or sources I could find (cd gdb; egrep " el(l)?(,|\.| )" * -rn),
and it was the one I copied from. I was going to fix it, but, I noticed
that <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L> says:
"L is the twelfth letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet. Its name in
English (play /ËÉl/) is spelled el or occasionally ell.[1]"
So, which one should we use? Is this an American English vs other
flavours issue?
