"cumulated" or "accumulated"

[Jens Petersen]

Hi,

I received a downstream bug report [1], suggesting
that gettext should use the word "accumulated"
instead of "cumulated".

$ cd ~/src/gettext
$ find . -type f | xargs grep -nH -e " cumulated" | grep -v \.po
./gettext-tools/doc/msguniq.texi:15:comments will be cumulated, except that if 
@samp{--use-first} is
./gettext-tools/doc/msguniq.texi:17:will be cumulated.  When using the 
@samp{--unique} option, duplicates are
./gettext-tools/doc/msgcat.texi:15:comments and extract comments will be 
cumulated, except that if
./gettext-tools/src/msguniq.c:336:and extracted comments will be cumulated, 
except that if --use-first is\n\
./gettext-tools/src/msguniq.c:338:will be cumulated.  When using the --unique 
option, duplicates are discarded.\n\
./gettext-tools/src/msgcat.c:378:comments and extract comments will be 
cumulated, except that if --use-first\n\

In current English the verb "cumulate" seems little used outside
Economics, and the word "accumulator" is more common in hardware,
software, etc.  Is "cumulated" being used intentionally
or would you accept a patch to change it to "accumulated"?

Thanks, Jens
