| 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. | ||||
| Tags | applied_after_i8d3, issue8 | ||||
