Subject: [PATCH v4 02/11] doc: correct grammar and typos in argparse library guide
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 14:26:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260114222821.87920-3-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260114222821.87920-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Changes:
- Add missing articles ("a user-friendly", "a long_name field")
- Fix awkward phrasing ("take with" -> "have")
- Correct verb forms ("automatic generate" -> "automatic generation of",
  "are parsing" -> "are parsed", "don't" -> "doesn't")
- Fix typo in field name (val_save -> val_saver)
- Fix stray backtick in code example
