Attachment: 0001-Improve-grammar-of-map-y-or-n-p-help-text.patch
Description: Text Data

The help text displayed by the function map-y-or-n-p when the user types
C-h contains the following grammatically dubious phrase:

  RET or ‘q’ to give up on the act on (skip all remaining objects);
                           ^^^^^^^^^^

where an (configurable) action verb follows the definite article.

I attach a patch to both avoid this and clarify that the current object
is skipped as well as all remaining ones.

Thanks,
