I'm attempting to look at the new release as though I'm a beginner by going
through the learning materials and I noticed that the "Help" page has the
cryptic and ungrammatical line:

Usr Pri JfC LJ Phr Dic and Rel to that contents

where something more like this would be more informative:

Section   Description
----------   ----------------
Usr         User Guide - introduction to invoking J, system-level
programming information
Pri           J Primer - complete introduction to language from first
principles, with learning checkpoints
JfC          "J for C Programmers" - extensive introduction assuming prior
experience with another programming language (not necessarily C)
LJ           "Learning J" - another extensive introduction arranged
according to J language structure
Phr          Phrases - a more mathematically-oriented introduction to the
language with sections on permutations, statistics, and finance.
Dic          J Dictionary - comprehensive overview based on learning by
example
Rel          Release Notes for current and previous releases, detailing
changes for each
