typo?

Hi,

In the description of an info packet, I found the following:

....
        }else if (value<-4){
            type= "r"
            value.den= -value-4
            value.num                   s
        }else{
....

I suppose that should be "value.nom" ?

no, NUMerator/DENOMinator is correct, and the spec is full
of these
num vs. nom typos

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or
copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the
library is

I see. I suppose it depends on personal preference, as
nominator/denominator 
is also fairly common on the web. But I am neither a
mathematician, nor a 
native English speaker, so it could also be very wrong to
call a numerator 
a nominator. It seems though that numerator is the preferred
name. So, 
shall I change all occurrences of nom/denom to num/denom in
the spec?

Nominator is a word, but numerator as a synonym is not
listed in the m-w.com
dictionary.

That would make it a bit less annoying to read...
