Status in Ubuntu Manual: In Progress
Bug description:
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.
