Hi :) I think that's a valid point but sadly it is unlikely to happen.  Contractions happen as part of a language's evolution.  Note that Commander Data in Star Trek, Next Generation (TNG) is considered over formal and often laments his inability to use contractions as it makes him seem "less h

Hi :) It's good to ask and i think it usually leads to better understanding and better documentation.  It can be frustrating and we don't have a lot of time to discuss each sentence of all the books in depth so you might have to "make a judgement call" and adapt what is written to "fit cultural

Hi :) No.  You are right, it can't be open at the same time as another document.  The final sentence in the paragraph might be better as the start of a new paragraph.  However, by describing the opposite case it reinforces the message of the rest of the paragraph which it appears to contradict.
