Subject: Minor language edits for PostgreSQL 14 Release Notes
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:58:00 +0300
Message-ID: <38555778-a56b-4aca-2581-e05582fc9bcf@postgrespro.ru> (raw)

Hello everyone,

I noticed minor language inaccuracies/inconsistencies in PostgreSQL 14 
Release Notes (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/release-14.html). A 
patch to fix them is attached.
One of the replacements changes

"which reports <acronym>WAL</acronym> activity" to
"to report <acronym>WAL</acronym> activity"

because "to report" is more consistent with the rest of the text (or 
just add a comma before "which").
