Okay, I was browsing through your perl pages for review (haven't written a program for it in a few months, need to write one soon, oh dear), and I've found a good bit of mistakes in one of the perl tutorial pages, and I just think it would look a little cleaner if it was fixed up. I don't mean to be a snob; I understand mistakes, we all write when we're tired sometimes. (Why, I'm tired right now. I'm just in a very grammatically proper kind of exhaustion, that's all. ;))
To cut right to it- here's what needs fixing up:
On the "Perl Strings" page (http://www.tizag.com/perlT/perlstrings.php):
First paragraph, last sentence: the word "sting" is used, where "string" should be used.
Second paragraph, first sentence: the word "man" is used where "may" should be used.
In the results box called formatstrings.pl, you're demonstrating the use of the perl control character "\n", but the results box does not show a line break (there should be a line break between the 'to' and 'tizag.com!' of the second string)
Oh yeah, and on the next page, (perl numbers (http://www.tizag.com/perlT/perlnumbers.php)), you spell arithmetic as "arithmatic". That's just a typo, and you don't even need to change it. The only people it annoys are the occasional spelling-obsessive people like me. :p
On the Perl Arrays (http://www.tizag.com/perlT/perlarrays.php) page you spell assigned as "asigned" in the first paragraph.
