Applied. Changeset: f4d74e20ad78
I went ahead and applied this (better late than never). Thanks a lot for the
time you spent on this, Andrey.
One comment I have is about punctuation in quotations. You "fixed" several
instances of language that looked like
"some words,"
to
"some words",
In American English, the first method is considered correct and the second is
considered incorrect (the reasons date back hundreds of years to typesetting
concerns about the lifetime of small metal type).
In other less important dialects like "The King's English," which I believe is
spoken on an island off the coast of France (yes, I'm joking), the second
version is considered better.
You can have fun thinking about what this small thing says about the priorities
of Americans and the English, but it's probably wise to let things like this
lie rather than begin "correcting" them.
