Summary0001678: use correct word: "descendant"
DescriptionOnline 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 ActionCorrect the spelling error.
