[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#545401: service manpage wording

[Joey Hess]

Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.87dsf-2+b1
Severity: minor

       service  runs  a  System V init script in as predictable environment as
                                                               ^
       possible removing most environment variables and with current  working
                                                            ^
       directory set to /.

My highly evolved markov chains for English wish to inform you that there
should be an "an" and a "the" in the above marked positions.

       invoked  script,  service  passes  COMMAND  and  OPTIONS it to the init
                      ^                                         ^^

Some clusters of neurons feel that the comma above should be the end of a
sentence, or possibly a semicolon. I didn't pay attention in shool so I 
can't tell if they're right; isn't using semicolons pretentious anyway?

As my own contribution to this brainstorm, I'm sure that the "it" should
be "in".

see shy jo; personally, I wish they'd give it a rest,
            but they nag me until I file bug reports.
