Accepted.

I doubt this change. But as a non-English speaker, I don’t want to argue about English, so, I will just accept the change.

Accepted.

Accepted.

In any case, the file is not consistent on one or the other before or after these unrelated fixes so we shouldn't be making them. For new paragraphs, matching the block they are added in works - and if adding the second paragraph I'd include a newline.

Yeah, I actually inclined to have a newline between paragraphs, but the doc already contains inconsistent styles, so I just tried to follow surrounding paragraphs’ style to decide if a new line needed.
