pod patches for English errors
Here are the patches for the pod files in Perl5.003, subversion 11.
The following corrections were made:
Spelling, grammar, jargon were fixed.
"It's" is the contraction of "it" and "is".
"Its" is the possessive form of "it".
only/just/simply/merely
Here's the example sentence that illustrates that "only" can be used in
almost any position in a sentence, and that each new sentence means
something different. As a writer, your goal should be to communicate your
ideas unambiguously.
