Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] docs: process: fix grammatical errors in 2.Process.rst
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 18:05:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315170521.63794-4-xaum.io@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260315170521.63794-1-xaum.io@gmail.com>
Fix five minor grammatical issues:
- Add comma after introductory phrase "At that point"
- Add comma before conditional "if at all possible"
- Change "close to ready" to "close to being ready"
- Add article "a" before "more extensive review"
- Add article "the" before "volume can reach"
