Subject: [PATCH v3] docs: reporting-issues: replace "these advices" with "all of this advice"
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 01:39:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513174009.1260-1-eric039eric@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512150431.894-1-eric039eric@gmail.com>

"Advice" is an uncountable noun, so "these advices" is grammatically
incorrect.

Replace it with "all of this advice" instead, which keeps the sentence
grammatical while also making it clear that it refers to the full set of
recommendations in the paragraph.

Signed-off-by: Chen-Shi-Hong <eric039eric@gmail.com>

v3:
- resend against the original base as requested
- replace "these advices" directly with "all of this advice"

v2:
- use "all of this advice" based on review feedback
