I hope that you are well.
I have some feedback about the pages at the following addresses:
http://www.gnu.org/software/moe/
"By default it won't automatically add, change, or remove not even one
byte in your files."
Perhaps change "not even one" to "a single" to remove the double negative.
"In any case, the unlimited undo/redo capability of moe makes very
difficult to accidentally cause an irreparable damage to your files."
Perhaps change this to:
"In any case, the unlimited undo capability of moe makes it very
difficult to accidentally cause irreparable damage to your files."
This page includes a link with the name "here". Please use descriptive
names for your links to make them accessible.
"If all of the subject are "bug in moe" it is impossible to
differentiate them."
Perhaps change "subject" to "subjects" or "subject fields".
http://www.gnu.org/software/moe/manual/moe_manual.html
"Every human being has the right to be taught exactly one language that
gives him or her full access to the whole human culture and allows him
or her communicate with everybody else."
Perhaps change "communicate" to "to communicate".
Perhaps change the whole sentence to:
"All human beings have the right to be taught exactly one language that
gives each of them full access to the whole human culture and allows
each of them to communicate with everybody else."
Or:
"We all have the right to be taught exactly one language that gives full
access to the whole human culture and allows us to communicate with
everybody else."
"Note that the short option names use the same letters that the options
menu inside moe."
Perhaps change "that" to "as".
"0 means as many as they fit."
Perhaps delete "they".
"the cursor moves under the first non-blank character of the previous
line instead of at the beginning of the line."
Perhaps change "at" to "to".
"In any case, the unlimited undo/redo capability of moe makes very
difficult to accidentally cause an irreparable damage to your files."
Perhaps change this to:
"In any case, the unlimited undo capability of moe makes it very
difficult to accidentally cause irreparable damage to your files."
"Some buffers may appear more that once in the list if they have more
than one buffer handle."
Perhaps change "that" to "than".
"Move cursor to the begin of the selected block, if begin of block has
been set and is in the current buffer."
Perhaps change this to:
"Move cursor to the beginning of the selected block, if the beginning of
the block has been set and is in the current buffer."
"Set the user bookmarks 1 to 9 that were not previously set or that are
repeated (point to the same character that a previous bookmark)."
Perhaps change "that a" to "as a".
"The <Backspace> key deletes the character preceding the cursor, while
the <Delete> key deletes the character at cursor."
Perhaps change "at cursor" to "at the cursor".
"If you prefer to have text characters replace (overwrite) existing ones
rather than being inserted among them, you can activate overwrite mode
pressing the <Insert> key."
Perhaps change "mode pressing" to "mode by pressing".
"Pressing <Insert> again, returns to normal insert mode."
Perhaps delete ",".
"<F9> may be also used when entering the replacement text."
Perhaps change this to:
"<F9> may also be used when entering the replacement text."
Or:
"You can also use <F9> when entering the replacement text."
"The command C-w searchs for the word at the cursor."
Perhaps change "searchs" to "searches".
Perhaps change "inmediately" to "immediately". (This occurs more than once.)
Please use a spell check facility to check for other typing mistakes.
"matching any number of characters from those in set"
Perhaps change this to:
"matching any number of characters from those in the set"
Or:
"matching any number of characters from the set"
Perhaps change "writting" to "writing".
"assumes it is a DOS file"
Perhaps change this to:
"moe assumes it is a DOS file"
Or:
"moe assumes that it is a DOS file"
Thank you.
David
