27.0.50; Improve grammar of map-y-or-n-p help text |

0001-Improve-grammar-of-map-y-or-n-p-help-text.patch
Description: Text Data
The help text displayed by the function map-y-or-n-p when the user types
C-h contains the following grammatically dubious phrase:
RET or ‘q’ to give up on the act on (skip all remaining objects);
^^^^^^^^^^
where an (configurable) action verb follows the definite article.
I attach a patch to both avoid this and clarify that the current object
is skipped as well as all remaining ones.
Thanks,
