From: Michael Kerrisk (man-pages) Date: Fri, 29 May 2020 12:20:47 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Manual pages: wording fix: "another" ==> "other" X-Git-Tag: v2.36-rc1~32 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=1538f6f636703cec03053fb5b9c11a275928952e Manual pages: wording fix: "another" ==> "other" In several pages, there is a consistent wording problem: "another" where "other" should be used. This wording problem can be surprisingly confusing for native speakers, especially those unaware that in some other languages, "another" and "other" can be expressed with the same word.
