Subject: [PATCH 11/11] doc: correct grammar in Linux drivers guide
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:06:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116211649.104776-12-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116211649.104776-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Add missing space after comma in device list.
Add possessive apostrophe in "distribution's documentation".
Change "co-exists" to "co-exist" for subject-verb agreement.
Correct cross-reference direction from "below" to "above".
