Hi all,

A very patient and observant person on the feedback list found many
grammatical errors on:
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/2.0/index.html

He suggested many changes, which I incorporated below along with some
of my own very small changes:
http://home.townisp.com/~rdayal/index.html

I would suggest updating the page ASAP - thanks.
