Gottcha. I looked at both versions, and didn't notice the error. I guess
I never considered version 4 to be out of date, since it looked almost
exactly like version 5 (from what I could tell at a quick glance).

I'm guessing that Keith Peter isn't from the US, so it makes sense that
he used his style of English. Plus, I was only joking about that being
an error.

Quick question: Are the only changes needed concerning spelling errors
(and/or style errors, if you want it to look like US English)? Or does
some of the actual content need to be updated?

I figured that since it was posted in the Ubuntu Manual mailing list,
I'd throw that out. But, you're probably right about it being more for
the documentation team. Or some other team that's dedicated to something
like this (showing off new features, etc). Does the documentation team
have their own mailing list, or do they use ours as well? (I honestly
don't know)
