Subject: 24.4; Docs misspell c-set-offset command
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 13:48:21 -0500

In the info pages of CC mode, the following description appears.
c-set-offset is incorectly pluralized in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs:

 -- Command: c-set-offset (‘C-c C-o’)
     This command changes the entry for a syntactic symbol in the
     current binding of ‘c-offsets-alist’, or it inserts a new entry if
     there isn’t already one for that syntactic symbol.

     You can use ‘c-set-offsets’ interactively within a CC Mode buffer
     to make experimental changes to your indentation settings.  ‘C-c
     C-o’ prompts you for the syntactic symbol to change (defaulting to
     that of the current line) and the new offset (defaulting to the
     current offset).

     ‘c-set-offsets’ takes two arguments when used programmatically:
     SYMBOL, the syntactic element symbol to change and OFFSET, the new
     offset for that syntactic element.  You can call the command in
     your ‘.emacs’ to change the global binding of ‘c-offsets-alist’
     (*note Style Variables::); you can use it in a hook function to
     make changes from the current style.  CC Mode itself uses this
     function when initializing styles.

Sorry, but where exactly did you see misspelling here?

Thanks.

There are a couple of extraneous letters 's' in the marked locations.
