s/adaptor/adapter/g - Githubissues

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Asterix can't decide how to spell "adapter" / "adaptor". "Adapter" is much more 
widespread - about ~3000 mentions throughout the source code, test files, and 
so on, vs. about 200 for "adaptor". There a couple public API usage of 
"adaptor" in the Feeds API, which is a bit unfortunate.

This obviously isn't hugely important, but it does look a little silly to see 
this (from AQLParser.java) :

   adaptorName = AdapterName();

If nobody objects, I think I'll write a perl script to s/adaptor/adapter/i in 
Asterix. (Hyracks appears to have settled solely on "adapter".)

P.S. A little Googling shows that there is no consistent distinction between 
the two. There's some evidence that "adapter" is preferred when talking about a 
*person* who can adapt, but when it comes to *things* that adapt, you'll find 
about equal usage of both. It's not consistently a British / American thing 
either. For what it's worth, the Java 7 SDK seems to use "adapter" exclusively 
for package and class names.
