Final Accepted Text Note: 0006323
Summary 0001678: use correct word: "descendant"
Description Online authorities seem to conflict over the correct adjectival form of this word, but in usage as a noun, as here, they are more strongly aligned: the standard should speak of descendants, not *descendents.
Desired Action Correct the spelling error.

Merriam-webster indicates that descendant is the more common usage.

Searching the text we have inconsistent usage, 22 in 7 files for descendant, and 9 in 1 file (Commands/timeout.mm)
