Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:23:07 +0100

Hello,

I just happen to notice an extra space in the man page of tail between
Print and the


"Print  the last 10 lines of each FILE to standard output"

that is in the man page of the tail application included in Debian
Linux.


But, more importantly:

I would write

Print the most recent 10 lines of each FILE to standard output ....



Kind greetings

Gijs Hillenius
