[PATCH] RFC: possible fixing a preposition

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

 



hi, Paul

In appendix B.7: "Lines 3 and 4 simply add one to
 the global free-running rcu_gp_ctr variable"

I looked up webster online dictionary
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/add%20to
it says "Definition of add to" is "to make (something) larger, 
better, or greater"
meanwhile rcu_gp_ctr is not changed in this statement.

My native language is not English, I try to search the web
for an example, and I think if replace 'to' with 'and' maybe a
better choice.

Maybe my proposal is not necessary.

Thanks for your time.

Best Wishes
Zhouyi
