Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Documentation: process: Clean up grammar, tone,
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 15:43:24 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902084324.16498-1-ducthinh100812@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch series performs a thorough pass across several files 
in the Linux kernel process documentation directory. The primary focus
is to improve readability and maintain a professional tone throughout 
the guides for a global developer audience.

Core changes include:
- Expanding conversational contractions (e.g., "don't" to "do not").
- Rectifying minor punctuation oversights and grammatical typos.
- Standardizing terminology formatting to elevate professional voice.

Extra notes:
- I originally intended to send a 12-patch series to cover the whole
  directory, but decided to scale it back to these 5 high-quality
  patches to ensure thorough accuracy and a manageable review cycle.
  
  Also I want to know the current progress of the patch titled 
  "Capitalize Git, Quilt, and Mercurial consistently".

  And I would like to thank everyone for welcoming me to the community
  and I hope everyone can forgive me for my mistakes in the past, 
  present, and in the future.

v2:
  - Resending the complete 5-patch series together as a single cohesive 
    thread. (Apologies, the v1 submission suffered a terminal wildcard 
    argument error that accidentally truncated the transmission 
    after 1/5).
