Subject: [edk2-CCodingStandardsSpecification PATCH 5/5] Fix Chapter 5 Typos
Date: Wed,  3 Jan 2018 11:22:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180103112248.11880-6-evan.lloyd@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180103112248.11880-1-evan.lloyd@arm.com>

From: Evan Lloyd <evan.lloyd@arm.com>

5.1.1 - Replace "less" with "fewer" (because columns is plural and
        countable)
5.1.5 - Correct tense.  (because the C specification still defines...)
        Insert full stop.
        Insert comma.
5.1.8 - Correct "provided" to "proven".
5.1.9 - remove hanging "This."
5.2.3.1 - replace "is comprised of" with "comprises" (comprise means
          "consists of", so "comprised of" is a solecism.
          Remove use of tab, as they are forbidden.
          Remove -- before date in copyright header (None of the edk2
          files have it).
5.4 - Add indent to comment text.
5.6.1.2 - Fix copy/paste text (from UEFI spec).
