>Description:
Section 24.2.2 [1] of the handbook contains minor grammatical errors.  The handbook states the following:
"This entry states that once every day, the freebsd-update will be ran." 

This should either be: 

a - This entry states that once every day, freebsd-update will run.

or

b - This entry states that once every day, the freebsd-update utility will be run.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The attached patch contains a grammatical fix for the handbook, assuming the first case in the description of this PR
