TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Always, always, always use correct spelling in the document.
Ask the developer if s/he wants a list of "typos" (not "mistakes" or
"errors"), so s/he can apply them to the code comments.
If s/he doesn't want the list (unlikely), mention in the document that
there might be minor deviations in code comment text.
