Description
Fixes eight grammar errors on seven pages: three subject-verb agreement slips, a singular noun after "one of the", and a wrong preposition.
Motivation
Missing the third-person
-s. Three pages use a plural verb with a singular subject:CharacterData.data: "Thedataproperty of theCharacterDatainterface represent the value of the current object's data."CSSLayerStatementRule.nameList: "The read-onlynameListproperty of theCSSLayerStatementRuleinterface return the list of associated cascade layer names."box-shadowproperty allow us to create inner light and a flat drop shadow effect.""one of the" requires a plural noun. All four individual
border-*-radiuspages carry the same sentence: "The rounding can be a circle or an ellipse, or if one of the value is0, no rounding is done and the corner is square." Each property takes a horizontal and a vertical radius, so the intended noun is plural.Wrong preposition.
Document.createTreeWalker(): "the text nodes of the descendants of the#rootelement are also traversed despite of the fact that they are not child nodes". "Despite" does not take "of".
