I recommend removing it. > #: misc-utils/lastlog2.c:117 > msgid " -S, --set ySet lastlog record to current time (requires -u)\n" "ySet" is a typo. > #: misc-utils/lsblk.c:236 > msgid "write same max bytes, use if --bytes is given" There are multiple messages ending with "use if --bytes is given". I found the ", use" clause clumsy. Especillay the reference to "". I know it refers to an argument of the --bytes option, but it can be difficult for users to realize it. Another issue I have is the same verb form of "write" and "use". It takes time to realize "write" is a compound attribute of "bytes", not a predicate. I propose rephrasing it as "write-same max bytes, respect --bytes format". Or "write same max bytes, respects --bytes format". > #: misc-utils/lsfd.c:405 > msgid "extended version of MDOE (rwxD[Ll]m)" "MDOE" should be "MODE". > #: misc-utils/lslocks.c:92 > msgid "HOLDERS of the lock" "HOLDERS" should be "holders". It's not a replacement word. > #: misc-utils/waitpid.c:239 > #, c-format > msgid "can't want for %zu of %zu PIDs" "want" should be "wait". > #: sys-utils/chcpu.c:208 > #, c-format > msgid "CPU %u configure failed" "configure" should be "configuration". > #: sys-utils/irqtop.c:180 > msgid "cannot not create timerfd" Duplicate "not". > #: sys-utils/setpriv.c:135 > msgid " --rgid set real gid\n" "user" should be "group". > #: term-utils/agetty.c:2466 > msgid " -J --noclear do not clear the screen before prompt\n" There is missing a comma between the alternations of the option. > #: term-utils/agetty.c:2471 > msgid " -N --nonewline do not print a newline before issue\n" The same problem. -- Petr --yYQ3sjov2LOSDrpz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE4/QvzhVoMKgDWObpT9GuwzZa978FAmYCsT0ACgkQT9GuwzZa 978Y3hAA7V0TOOnk9R7SdUN5+F+pu0zJuAoCuvRnkfk7v0P0yDQLDG0LmpTr0b7U Xc6flnO1esVQNQfQC1gIle+bcA/zxsJUqkPCZnBsfx43UL/91lXb5uELjhJCuRhJ Quxv8wMV1RycXdk/F5KlfRPjAyVR3DfoAc9qr2mOM1Pofqqz+bS2WRVXWPj0OgtR Rj9R3wrQzDQIe9HkYElOWCw6uRB6uGlw7LwTnlmI1ulqCtH+vJy/a5cs6lOAjLuz kaxZR1f+S8ovPMrjVcwA+SsUJAJlVwDjyRh/vsNWLV+J/yvrCgfCtbnBdbX6v+VY cfGuyXDcp1l2Di3grKOvaWp9YSnPN8F+4zFTYPr02BFlpirnC96lukvOrwjppV0/ GrvwQ0Zif5ei7dr4Pq3FFuv0D6rZHFerskHRv6VWr3+Vs85pUxYyHQbo1eL1aJxM 7d9IsNBgaQwV7sXKgdjYvamUkNbhk+ys0DT+AiUtBYITkfZXSwWxksxu7LVtVspP Z2oa46DtC34nFQZaFJG+V9BWGHabUcp6Ct8bFScLTQ8wvQyb8teKI9gEC0yUDTxV gKsSgYwR0hmn0Mw3mWcD6p1nMQMKIS2Gifv9lK6x9iMkG2GX/O2ZxLfqcl3Jw/Bo Ql4zvS5zG2eqyPurRC/sjfkuSfvHxcKX9N3lr+g2LuDxk9lpxcY= =Z5jy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --yYQ3sjov2LOSDrpz--
