| There are a lot more occurrences of 'floating point' in our doc: are you going to fix them too? |

| If "floating point" in a sentence is in a role of an adjective, then it must be written as "floating-point" (with a hyphen), otherwise not. Example: "The number 3.5 is a floating-point number." Please consult some English orthography book and start writing correct English. |

| Wow.. do you really expect any positive outcome from you reply style? I'll pretend I didn't read your reply and let me rephrase my question like this: there are several occurrences of 'floating point' in python doc, are you going to fix all the ones that are wrong? |

| I know that there are a lot of non-hyphenated occurences of "floating point" in Python docs, so I just want to raise awareness about those occurences. Can you fix all occurences of "floating point" (when in a role of an adjective) to "floating-point" throughout Python docs? As a matter of fact, everything that is an adjective is hyphenated if there are 2 words that form the adjective. Example: "This is built in." versus "This is a built-in method." |

What I was asking is if *you* (since you care about the topic) would provide a patch fixing all that needs fixing. At that point there will be people interesting reviewing your patch, instead of people been told what to do. Regards, Sandro |

| Congratulations: You (again) have found a fundamental error in TAOCP. Example (Third Edition, page 233): "The following definitions seem to be appropriate for base b, excess q, floating point numbers ..." |

| For the time being I don't find any other "floating point" occurences in Python docs. I found one and made a patch for it. Please apply the patch. Thanks. |

| What's the purpose of this tracker if the author of an issue report has to beg for something to be fixed, despite the fact that (s)he even made a patch ????? |
