Summary

0002115: Typos and Grammatical corrections for the ACSL 1.9 manual

Description

These are a set of typos and grammatical errors I noted on a recent read of most of the ACSL 1.9 manual. None of these affect technical correctness - just the flow of the English. I put them here simply to be helpful. Do what you like with them.
If you like, I am happy to edit them into a version-controlled copy of the document source myself, if you would like.
