In section 15.17.1.17 in the ctypes documentation, the documentation says
"It is funny to see that on linux the sort function seems to work much more efficiently, it is doing less comparisons"

"It is quite interesting to see that the Windows qsort() function needs
more comparisons than the linux version!"

"linux" should be capitalized in both these sentences.

And while we're at it, I would consider revising both sentences in a more fundamental way, since they're too chatty for the official docs.

Fixed in 3.3

I don't think this is important enough to spend time on backporting.
