Hi,

I think I've found three typos in the date program. I've attached a
patch correcting those.

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks for the patch.  I agree that "e.g., text" is more grammatically 
correct than "e.g. text" given our bias to en_US in the source code (the 
same cannot be said of en_UK), so I've applied it, after fixing up the 
commit message to include a ChangeLog attribution of the file and method 
changed, and fixing the subject line to match conventions:

date: correct typos in date --help

There are several instances throughout the rest of coreutils ('git grep 
-l 'e\.g\.[^,]' | wc -l' lists 70 files, although not all of them carry 
the same weight); we should probably clean all of those.  Since a typo 
fix falls under the trivial rule, I think we can accept a patch from you 
even though it would be longer than the normal 10 line cutoff for 
needing copyright assignment.  Would you mind helping in this effort?

There was some discussion at http://debbugs.gnu.org/7257
and one change was pushed.

I'm marking this moreinfo in case someone wants to pursue the others.

All the suggestions in Tobias's original submission have been fixed now,
and there's also a syntax-check rule to always use "time zone"
instead of "timezone".

As such I'm making this as done.
