[PATCH] kernel: fix spelling and grammar errors within the comments

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

 



Change user mode -> usermode for consistency and which -> that for
proper usage of a restrictive clause; add "called" to a comment
and make "F" lowercase in same comment along with fixing the column
width; add a few missing periods; remove unneeded comma and properly
punctuate parenthetical.
