When you have time, incorporate this patch. Thanks.

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.

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.

Wow, does that mean he can cash in a Knuth check?

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 ?????

Two already: One for the insight that "i-th" is the only true spelling,
and now this one.

I think it's enough: FTR I'm +1 on removing Retro tracker account,
effective immediately (if any admin is around).
