Hi Varun,


I've seen the rather extended discussion about word choice. However Can
I suggest an alternative split of the patch?

If the patch is split between:
1. Test shells
2. Code comments
3. Manual pages
4. Guides and How to's.
  then it should be possible to focus on the precision aspects first,
and only later get into the imprecision of modern colloquial English.
For the manual page changes, having a direct link to a test shell or
code comment change would provide important support to the clarification
of any precision aspects of the changes.
I'd be happy to split it, but I'm not sure I follow what you mean by
"precision aspects".
