I copied this text verbatim from the Emacs manual
from the node (info "(emacs) Yes or No Prompts"):
The second type of yes-or-no query is typically employed if giving
the wrong answer would have serious consequences; it thus features a
longer prompt ending with ‘(yes or no)’.
Now I noticed it has "if" before.
