Time to correct 'logitudinal' typo ?

Hi,
from TGE time, the "wheeledVehicle" class has a typo error in its fields. The last one is spelled "logitudinalRelaxation" instead of "longitudinalRelaxation".
Wouldn't it be time, with T3D, to rename it the correct way : "longitudinalRelaxation", even if its break some compatibility ?
Or have 2 fields : "logitudinalRelaxation" and "longitudinalRelaxation" that points to the already well spelled property "longitudinalRelaxation". That would introduce the correct spelling and keep compatibility with incorrect but "historical"' spelling.

you wont see a company selling a line of products, all with a broken fuse, saying "its a small thing, let the buyer change the fuse"...
just fix it already, its 1 small typo, not re-inventing the wheel from scratch.

I agree, the user shouldn't have to fix the spelling in the engine. I was talking about resources breaking, and people being able to fix those easily :)

I vote for fixing the spelling and breaking the existing resources -- but I'm just contrary that way :D

I agree : break the compatibility to make a cleaner base.

Anything that makes the code more readable and accurate has to be a positive thing, especially to people like me who can misread easily anyway :)

As far as breaking things, I wouldn't worry. You're talking about tire properties.. besides, In half of the vehicle scripts I've seen, the author has corrected the typo already, not knowing that it was also misspelled in the engine.
