Should flag "except from" when it's a mistake for "except for" #3672

I think this mistake is mainly made by nonnative speakers but it's pretty common:

  • every zed-industries/zed dependency is pinned to rev 876ec5a8a074ba83cce2129ed4d76b59c05a37e9, except from sum_tree which has no rev and ends up resolving to HEAD
  • Is there any other well known socket.io parsers except from default and msgpack ?
  • "bd daemon" is gone … except from docs
  • Except from being a black rectangle, the ~$100-ish Xiaomi device isn't comparable to a PinePhone.
  • Except from memory and CPU leaks, what will be reasons for Node.js server might go went down?

But we have to be careful because it also has legitimate uses:

  • An extension that normally works, except from shortcuts, where uuid isn't found in the schema
  • Cura will not launch except from Applications folder (Mac)
  • I had removed try except from create_task api endpoint

There's even some where it could conceivably be a typo for "excerpt":

  • Except from internal project readme.
