It is good English. It unifies the two concepts. If they are not separated by
a hyphen, date becomes an adjective of time. It is the type of time called a
date, and I have no idea what that means.

Hello all,

I will send the issues in individual mails (like last time), without
this header. This will be a total of 84 mails.
I'll wait with sending for ~ 1 hour in case you would not like to have
them in those e-mails.
Mario asked me to provide the issues, therefor I send them to him
directly for handling.
I've fixed most of the issues in my Github fork; see pull request
#1601. However, there's something left (my comments are in brackets):
Thanks.
My 5 ¢:

Man page: hwclock.8
Issue: date-time → date time??
"There are two types of date-time clocks:"
(We have lots of occurences of this "date-time" thing. Don't know
whether it's good English or bad English …)
It's used quite a few times in the file, so better leave it as is to
be consistent.

Man page: lsmem.1
Issue: The first sentence is broken
"The B<lsmem> command lists a new memory range always when the current memory "
"block distinguish from the previous block by some output column. This "
"default behavior is possible to override by the B<--split> option (e.g., "
"B<lsmem --split=ZONES>). The special word \"none\" may be used to ignore all "
"differences between memory blocks and to create as large as possible "
"continuous ranges. The opposite semantic is B<--all> to list individual "
(Not sure what this means. I can't remember anymore why I wrote this
comment more than three years ago …)
Sorry, the english is rather hard to read:
Suggested:
The command B<lsmem> always lists a new memory range when the current
memory block differs from the previous block in some output column.
Greetings
Helge
