Description Joel Uckelman 2008-08-30 13:51:33 UTC
Description of problem:

The description of the '-n' option in the dos2unix man page contains the following:

"File  names must be given in pairs and wildcard names should NOT be used or you WILL lost your files."

The present tense form of "to lose" is "will lose", so the man page should read like this, instead:

"File  names must be given in pairs and wildcard names should NOT be used or you WILL lose your files."


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dos2unix-3.1-31.fc9

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man dos2unix

  
Actual results:

I see a grammatical error.


Expected results:

I see no grammatical error.


Additional info:

This isn't a big deal, but it bugs me every time I see it, and it's something which could be corrected in all of 30 seconds.

BTW, the unix2dos man page has the same problem.
