Likewise. Anyone who has filed more than a few bugs on strings will
know what a pest it is. I thought I was doing well on that; and then
I discovered how many Christian had filed. Ouch.

There are strings which need some discussion before changing, and 
those should go into Bugzilla. And there are strings which might have
typos, but it is not clear. And those should go into Bugzilla. But it 
seems silly to generate at least four new bug-emails (open, status,
developer confirms, someone fixes and closes) just to change to/too,
lose/loose, and so on. Same goes for tidying up commas and apostrophes.
