[Bug c++/19735] New: Spelling "error" in error message.

[wwieser at gmx dot de]

When fed with the following code:  
 
    unsigned char val = -1; 
 
gcc-4.0.0 20050130 (experimental) reports:  
 
warning: converting of negative value '-0x000000001' to 'unsigned char' 
 
As for my feeling, it should correctly say "conversion of..." or "converting"  
but not "converting of...".

No the grammar in this example is correct even though it looks werid for a non native speaker of 
English.

I'm not a native speaker, but to me, too, this error message sounds very 
awkward. Even if the sentence should be grammatically correct, there is 
no reason we shouldn't choose a less awkward wording. I'd like to see a  
native speaker comment or close this PR, please.

Andrew is a native speaker.  Really, he is. ;-)

Anyway, even if the grammar of the message is correct (and I really
don't think it is, but I am definitely not a native speaker), I think
it is a really confusing message.  It is OK to improve syntactically
correct diagnostics if it makes the diagnostic easier to understand.
