Duplicate task

This task is a less sophisticated version of https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Text_completion. --Chunes (talk) 01:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Could you expand on what/how it is a duplicate? Normally we try to not have "duplicate" tasks on RC. --Paddy3118 (talk) 13:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Misspelling?

Two of the best online dictionaries, Collins, and Merriam-Webster don't have changeable without the first e. They do however have it with the e here and here. Several other sites rank "changable" as a common misspelling. Lets not perpetuate that on RC.

Since the spelling is made a point of, we should stick with the preferred spelling in the task name and description. --Paddy3118 (talk) 08:57, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

P.S. The misspelling isn't in unixdict.txt either. --Paddy3118 (talk) 09:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
