Typo in quickly/launchpadaccess.py

Opening an English dictionary, I see both "connexion" and "connection". Is one more suitable than the other?

Both mean exactly the same thing but spelling is Amrican for connexxion and
British for Connection - is all :-)

"connexion" is American spelling and "connection" is British spelling...

I think we should stick to en_GB, to be honest this is the first time I've seen the word "connexion"...

Most people will be unfamiliar with connexion, I would also go with en_GB..

Maybe we should use "connection" but also mention "connexion" and that it is
American spelling in the help-documentation ? That way no more confusion...

Sweet, this is an easy merge to propose, do you of you care about doing that?
grep -r connexion *

PS: just take care, in French, it's "connexion", not "connection" and maybe in some other po file as well. (just keep po file untouched I would say, it will be autorefreshed on next build).

I would love to do this Didier but I am very new to the forum and launchpad
and still studying and trying to understand how thnsg are done and I have no
desire to do something and break anything... but if it is really this simple
*grep -r connexion ** in a terminal I am willing to try. Please guide me
though... so I open my terminal then type in grep -r connexion * ? That's
it ? Please advice :-)

I can do it if you wish

I've used perl -pi -e 's/connexion/connection/g' `find . -name "*"` for that (note that this isn't optimal as it spits out some warning for directories, but it works)

Thanks Aruna for your poposal, Łukasz was quicker than you (thanks!)
Aruna, if you want to do a cherry picking bugs, you're more thank welcome. I'll try to notice you and help you next time.

Thanks a lot for your contribution there :)

Your welcome Didier, I didn't do much.. simply pointed out the obvious I think.

To be honest I am less than a month into linux but learning fast ( Quickly :? no pun intended:) and liking it very much, yes Lukasz was quicker and is also I feel much more experienced with Linux.

I will try to get up to standard as fast as possible, I have never had the opportunity to use something such as launchpad and being inexperienced was worried I may break something in the repos.

But Ubuntu IS awesome and so are all of you who do the hard work behind the scenes to give us such a truly fascinating operating system. I feel extremely privileged to be actually working with the likes of you and Rick and Lukasz and every one else.

So Thank YOU all !
