Chern, don't let the recent spate of complaints put you off.  You're
doing a fantastic job with the docs.  The spelling and grammar fixes are
important, because the improve the overall impression created.  Poor
spelling and grammar can put people off reading the literature.

In fact, part of the reason you get so many objections is because you
provide high quality commit messages! :-)

Anyway, I'm not saying the objections shouldn't be addressed; I just
don't want them to comprise the only feedback you get!

Ciao,
Sheldon.
