From 014f1319347d7cee3c8aa6c21a1cdf2e4998ef78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Chavez Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2023 08:40:30 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Change 'dependant' to 'dependent' (#103745) The word 'dependent' is both an adjective and a noun. A 'dependant' is a British alternative spelling for the noun form. In idlelib.sidebar, 'OS-dependant' is an adjective and clearly wrong. In 'Using', 'dependant' as a noun would be acceptable in Britain, but we use American spellings in Python docs. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/spelling-variants-dependent-vs-dependant --- Doc/using/windows.rst | 2 +- Lib/idlelib/idle_test/test_sidebar.py | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/using/windows.rst b/Doc/using/windows.rst index 1c4e41c0e0e..380950eb507 100644 --- a/Doc/using/windows.rst +++ b/Doc/using/windows.rst @@ -470,7 +470,7 @@ user's system, including environment variables, system registry settings, and installed packages.
