I noticed some mistakes in

http://dlang.org/regular-expression.html

I haven't checked the whole page for mistakes, but I suggest we change the following paragraph:

[Current]
Here is where regular expressions come in handy, often succinctly called as regexes. Regexes are simple yet powerful language for defining patterns of strings, put together with a substitution mechanism, they form a Swiss Army knife of text processing. They are considered so useful that a number of languages provides built-in support for regular expressions. This does not nessary mean that built-in implies faster processing or more features. It's more a matter of providing convenient and friendly syntax for typical operations and usage patterns.

[Suggestion]
Here is where regular expressions – often just called <i>regexes</i> – come in handy. Regular expressions are a simple yet comprehensive language for defining string patterns. Combined with a mechanism for string substitution, regular expressions are a powerful tool for text processing. In fact, they are considered so useful that a number of languages provide built-in support for them. However, built-in support does <b>not</b> necessarily imply <b>faster</b> processing or more features, it is rather a way of providing a <b>convenient and user-friendly syntax</b> for typical operations and usage patterns.

[something along these lines]
