From 305af08c5398bab6c7029da53eb15d85a53eef0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremiah Mahler <jmmahler@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 00:04:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] doc: replace "practise" with "practice" in Documentation To keep the Documentation consistent either "practise" or "practice" should be used. Since there are 3 lines with "practise" ~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practise * | wc -l 3 and 108 lines with "practice" ~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practice * | wc -l 108 this patch converts "practise" to "practice".
