| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dictionary, so it doesn't make sense to list common, every-day words with well-known spellings. Besides, "can not" is a proper, albeit confusing, construct. For example: The quick brown fox can not jump over the lazy dog. The above isn't saying that the fox isn't capable of jumping over the dog, but rather that the fox is capable of *not* jumping over it (e.g., it can walk around it). It is confusing (and should be avoided), but nonetheless valid, English. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=9973

This is because the information in here applies to all the documentation under doc/, not just the Handbook. Move the style guide information out of the-handbook/chapter.sgml and in to writing-style/chapter.sgml. It doesn't really belong here either, but we don't have a general style chapter (yet). Update Makefile to know about this, and use the doc.project.mk file. Update book.sgml to know about the new chapter. Remove the old chapters. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=5510
