==Correction/correcting==

I didn't bother to check before writing this, but now that I do, Web search shows that 'Correction' is more common (~240M hits) than 'Correcting' (~43M hits). I wonder if either is 'technically' 'correct'? [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 18:09, 21 August 2022 (CEST)

: I think it is "Correction", because the name describes the process ("What does it do?"), and DEC used it that way. [[User:Vaxorcist|Vaxorcist]] ([[User talk:Vaxorcist|talk]]) 16:44, 22 August 2022 (CEST)

:: FWIW, Wikipedia uses 'Correction' too. I wonder why I used 'Correcting'? Ah, I see, [http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/disc/rp04/DEC11-HRJPA-B-D_RJP04_Disk_Subsystem_Maintenance_Aug74.pdf DEC11-HRJPA-B-D] uses 'Correcting' (1.5.3); so that's probably the form I saw initially.
