during startup:
text: busses
error: busses
fix: buses
Busses is a correct spelling.  Is there a consistency issue, or do you
just prefer "buses"?

FWIW, the Wikipedia article 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_%28computing%29 consistently uses 'buses' 
as plural.

Sascha
I'll take my bikeshed black.

Peter is correct in saying that this is "a" correct spelling -- it depends 
on what side of the ocean you're on, as I'm pretty sure this is a US vs UK 
English issue.
