branch: master
commit 460541640431fde61a343c57a520fdd07f257adb

    NEWS file: added item for new Arithmetic examples
    
    In the previous commit, many examples were added to the description
    arithmetic operators which can be useful for new users.
    
    With this commit, an entry was added in the NEWS file to highlight this
    point there (which also goes into the announcements).
    
    I also done a simple spell-check in the NEWS file and corrected a few
    typos. Furthermore, after a run of Debian's Lintian, a few other typos were
    found in the printed messages of some of the programs that has been
    corrected.
