Hello Doug, > As for "imperative mood", I believe there is no such thing in English > grammar. "Imperative mood" is how it is described in submitting-patches.rst. I deliberately use the same term in my feedback emails to make it easy for the recipient to locate the relevant section in that file. If you believe that the official process document should be amended, feel free to reach out to linux-doc. -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
