Typos like this do not make it difficult for translators; translators
see to it that the translation is right. The only problem for
translators is that the translation will be removed from the next
version because the English message will be changed (Unfortunately
Launchpad does not work with so called fuzzies).
They do make it difficult for English readers though.

I started making a list of typos 2 weeks ago, but I wanted to see if the
last ones could be included in 14.04. Unfortunately they cannot because
there is a string freeze. Besides, the typos are so minor it is not
worthwhile to break the freeze for them.
I hope I will remember to send my list of typos to the team next time.
Thanks for your thoughts on this subject.
