Thank you very much, Scott! This is a clear improvement ((even though some of the style changes may be debatable - but only by native English/American (;-) speakers, not me. ...)) Hence I've committed it (R-devel, svn rev 72900).
Thanks for putting it in, Martin! I do my best to not impose American English, but sometimes I just don't realize. I actually have adopted several non-American rules because I find them more logical. For example, I like to put punctuation outside of quotes, such as "this is a quote", where for some reason in American English it is preferred to put it as "this is a quote." Thanks for taking the time to review the patch and commit it. Scott
