[Bug 585242] [NEW] Comma splice

 

Public bug reported:

Rev. 788
Ch.1, § "Installing Ubuntu", p. 14 (PDF p.16)
Type: grammar

Manual currently has:
The process of installing Ubuntu is designed to be quick and easy, however, we realize that some people may find the idea a little daunting. 

There are two separate clauses there that should, at the very least, be
separated by a semicolon (before "however").

Personally, I would go as far as to split it into two separate sentences, to emphasize the point made in the first, and then move the "however" into the second one a little too:
The process of installing Ubuntu is designed to be quick and easy. We realize, however, that some people may find the idea a little daunting.
