[PATCH] Edit user manual for grammar

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 - "last-resort" is two words, not a conjoined word, it doesn't require
   the hyphen
 - "method of" is vulgar, "method for" is nicer
 - "recovery" becomes "recovering" from Steve Hoelzer's original version
   of this patch
 - "if you want" is nicer as "if you wish"
 - "you may" should be "you can"; "you may" is "you have permission to"
   rather than "you can"'s "it is possible to"

My apologies for jumping on your patch, but when I read the context of your
change, I couldn't resist fixing some things around it too.
