I've noticed there is a recurrent spelling problem on the DD-WRT wiki, and I was hoping to batch correct the obvious spelling errors on this page in particular: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Port_Forwarding
Someone should run a blanket wipe on the entire Wiki looking for spelling mistakes for these words:
"asside" should be spelled "aside"
"recieving" should be spelled "receiving" with an "ei"
"recieve" -> "receive"
"recieved" -> "received"
"recieves" -> "receives"
Normally these wouldn't matter if they were single occurrences, and if DD-WRT wasn't a popular professional site, but since it is, I'm pointing it out.
I have corrected the errors now.
Be aware that the wiki is a user contribution and not all users have English as their native language.
I do, for that reason, use a chell specker plagin which takes care of most errors but it can still not distinguish between its and it's or loose and lose. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

I used, and continue to use, the Glossary when I don't understand a networking/router term. It's very helpful, but a lot of acronyms used commonly here aren't in the Wiki. A concise definition is usually available at Wikipedia.org.
Can I submit a list of suggestions, or should I make the additions myself?
Also, I don't remember how I stumbled into the Glossary; it isn't very easy to find in the FAQ page. I'd vote for making it a prominent link on the FAQ page or above. _________________ WNDR3700V1, WRT300NV1, WRT54GV5,8, F7D8301
just write to the shop team. they will create the wiki account 4 you if needed.
I'm still clueless how to do that. I don't use forums alot. I did look at most of the links around the forum, and I found a "Shop Customers" group, but I just see a list there. Am I supposed to send a message to BrainSlayer?
