Hi, I’m not sure where I’m supposed to report this, but I found a few minor 
typos in some of the manuals (emacs 27.2).

        - docs/lispref/objects.texi, line 2414:
                original: …should not have been changed via `setcar’ because it 
given to `eval’…
                assumed fix: …because it [was] given to `eval’…

        - docs/misc/eshell.texi, line 519 (footnote):
                original: …as opposed to code completion, which is a beyond the 
scope of pcomplete…
                assumed fix: …which is […] beyond the scope…

This one isn’t a typo, but I think adding quotes/italics to the word “live”  
(like “live code” earlier in the paragraph)
would help with clarity (I had to re-read the sentence a few times when going 
through this section).
        - docs/misc/org.org, line 16396:
                original: …Users can control how live they want each source 
code block…
                proposed change 1: …control how [“live”] they want…
                proposed change 2: …control [the “liveliness” of] each source…

If this isn’t the right format for reporting typos just let me know and I’ll 
rewrite this email.
Best,
Ian
