| Summary | 0000855: Tiny wording clarifications on "the" versus "a" startup file | ||||||
| Description |
The latter paragraph uses several different forms of referring to a startup file, of which there are potentially multiple, i.e., plural. This intermixed usage irritates a little bit because when in this context the singular "the" is used one may think it refers to a specific "the" (most likely the unspecified system global one). Ditto the former uses the term "the" but effectively means the users own startup-file, which should also be adjusted given that that term is used in other places, too. |
