Hi,

As long as I'm sending in trivial fixes
to the docs here's a bit of wording that's been bugging me.

In a number of places the docs read "only relevant",
this patch reverses this to read "relevant only".

I believe this reads better because it quickly
answers the question "is what?" with "is relevant",
making the sentence less of a strain to read.
"Only relevant" would be better if you really wanted
to emphasize the "only", which I don't think is called
for.

(Sending in such trivial patches makes me feel like
I'm bikeshedding.  Feel free to ignore them without comment.)



This doesn't appear to correct any ambiguity, nor any grammatical error. I find these sentences perfectly readable as they are. Not everything in the docs conforms to my personal style either, but I'm not in favor of taking this sort of patch which is just a matter of substituting your stylistic judgment for that for the original author. If we do that we'll never stop.

cheers

andrew
