For the initial patch, I agree with all except the first change of "others'" to "other's" -- the start of the sentence uses "All", so there is clearly more than one "other", so the the apostrophe belongs after the "s". The rest of the 0001- patch all look like improvements to me. I think most or all of the places that the 0002- patch (i.e. and e.g.) need a change to look right, but I'm not sure this goes far enough. In style guides I've had to use these generally should follow punctuation (left parenthesis, colon, semi-colon, comma, or em dash), and be separated from any following text by punctuation -- usually a comma. In patch 0003- I agree that the change to "exactly the same" reads better. I'm torn on changing the hyphens to spaces. I probably wouldn't change them, but I wouldn't squawk if others preferred to do so. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
