`fmtscan` reports unique bad spellings but does not specify where

[EricccTaiwan]

When committing , fmtscan reports "3 unique bad spellings found (3 non-unique)" but does not indicate which words are misspelled or their locations in the source code.

It would be helpful if fmtscan can automatically displayed more details about spelling errors.

Better specify when you commit by providing messages generated by tig or git reflog. I can't be sure what is in stashes and local changes.
I see that you use printf related functions 53 times and 3 of them went wrong. There is too little information to check the context.
BTW, check #279 to see my error, and it's also about fmtscan which is adopted from #274 and closed by Jserv for conventions.

I got the report. There is an output message.

meas

Search through the git diff records, I found exact the same syntax "meas" in printf. Yes, it's exactly in printf.

+    double number_traces_max_t = tmp->n[0] + tmp->n[1];
     double max_tau = max_t / sqrt(number_traces_max_t);
 
     printf("\033[A\033[2K");
-    printf("measure: %7.2lf M, ", (number_traces_max_t / 1e6));
+    printf("meas: %7.2lf M, ", (number_traces_max_t / 1e6));
     if (number_traces_max_t < ENOUGH_MEASURE) {
         printf("not enough measurements (%.0f still to go).\n",
                ENOUGH_MEASURE - number_traces_max_t);

So I suggest you share your search and see if the output message really works.
