Summary0001699: Use term 'rules' consistently
DescriptionLine 104661 says:
> A makefile can contains rules, macro definitions [...]

Line 104679 says:
> The rules in makefiles shall consist of [...] macro definitions [...] and comments.

Desired ActionIn line 104679, replace:
The rules in makefiles

with:
Makefiles


The word 'rules' in line 104677 may need to be changed as well.
