The more I think about this, the more I wonder if this change is 
apropriate...  Any elder-doc-hackers want to comment?

I think this should probably be left as it is.
Looking at your followup, I assume it's ok to close this?

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

While it's not the same problem at all, I didn't think that /etc/ttys
contained grammar quite that bad, and on checking it was changed two and
a half years ago, so can we apply this patch to bring it up to date ?
