Bug Description
Hello all! As I have been reading the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, I have noticed that there are a few grammatical errors in the text.
--Minor Suggestions--
"Our work will be used by other people, and we in turn will depend on the work of others."
You should add commas to "...we, in turn,..."
"...we delegate decision making, governance and leadership from senior bodies to the most able and engaged candidates."
You should substitute "most able" for "ablest".
"...Nominations to the boards and councils are at the discretion of the Community Council, however the Community Council will seek the input of the community before confirming appointments."
You should add a comment after "however" so it looks like "... Community Council, however, ..."
--Obvious Spelling Errors--
EDIT: I see that on https:/
"...but do so mindful of the challenges they present for others, and work to soften the impact of thos decisions on them."
The word "thos" should be replaced with "those" so it looks like "...soften the impact of those decisions on them."
--Correct Spelling, Just a Suggestion--
"...we prefer to err, learn, and err less in future than to postpone action indefinitely."
The word "err" is a really uncommon word (I even had to look it up). I feel as though we should replace "err" with "to make mistakes".
An example would be "...we prefer to make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and make mistakes less in future than to postpone action indefinitely."
----
Thanks in advanced.
