Interesting ideas!

Same here.  I have no idea.

What I found suspicious, was the correction occurring in a quote
section.  But you are right.  Since there is no reference to the source
the correction is worthy AFAICS.

If I'd be the only committer, I'd leave the "memeory" anyway.  But go
ahead and change the occurance to "memory" if you like.  I won't try to
stop you.
