My codebase: "descendent" 56 results. "descendant" 249 results. Spelling an me!
@jessegrosjean I always look for “destory” because I just can’t spell “destroy”.
@jessegrosjean For me, it's 210 for “descendant” and 38 for “descendent.” Apple largely prefers “descendant," though a couple of Foundation APIs (e.g. NSFileManager, CFURL) use "descendent.”
@steveshepard Ha! Well glad I'm in good company
