>Description:
In the "printing" chapter of the handbook, I saw one word which might be lacking (proper English asks for "in addition to", imho).
Also, there is a "." inside of a <quote>, which is not the usage (in docs).
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I made a patch correcting those, which is to be applied to "chapter.smgl" in /usr/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing/
