Hi,

Please find inline a patch to address some consistency among
character set manual page descriptions. If you prefer to
shrink “the” from other manual page descriptions (ascii.7,
cp1251.7 and iso_8859-*.7 ones), I volunteer to provide the
(trivial) patch instead.

Thanks. Applied for 3.30. I prefer without "the", and made that change also.

All changes are now pushed to git; you may wish to check.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

Seems fine, thanks.

> Thanks. Applied for 3.30. I prefer without "the", and made that change also.

Agreed. Please find inline another tiny patch in order to shrink the definite
article from some other pages (found with “rgrep -i ' \\\- the' man*/”).
