Suggest s/doesn\'t/does/ It could be change to 'Why doesn't my mouse work with X?' but this introduces a contraction, expansion of which creates ugly English. 'Why does not my mouse work with X?' - 'Because, my lord, it is the will of the Queen herself that thine mouse worketh not.' :) Patch attached -- Andrew McKay --0-1169549597-1009187010=:2306 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name="book.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: Content-Description: Unified diff to apply to books/faq/book.sgml Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="book.diff" LS0tIGJvb2suc2dtbAlNb24gRGVjIDI0IDA5OjM1OjA2IDIwMDENCisrKyBi b29rLm5ldwlNb24gRGVjIDI0IDA5OjM2OjAzIDIwMDENCkBAIC03ODIyLDcg Kzc4MjIsNyBAQA0KIA0KICAgICAgIDxxYW5kYWVudHJ5Pg0KICAgICAgICAg PHF1ZXN0aW9uIGlkPSJ4LWFuZC1tb3VzZWQiPg0KLSAgICAgICAgICA8cGFy YT5XaHkgZG9lc3QgbXkgbW91c2Ugbm90IHdvcmsgd2l0aCBYPzwvcGFyYT4N CisgICAgICAgICAgPHBhcmE+V2h5IGRvZXMgbXkgbW91c2Ugbm90IHdvcmsg d2l0aCBYPzwvcGFyYT4NCiAgICAgICAgIDwvcXVlc3Rpb24+DQogDQogICAg ICAgICA8YW5zd2VyPg0K --0-1169549597-1009187010=:2306-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
