Just that there's this new mode, and what files will (or should) turn
it on.

You make it sound like fixing the wording or changing it is some kind
of sin that you need to apologize.  It isn't: I frequently find
phrases or wording in the documentation that could be improved, and
when I do, I fix them.  Others fix what I wrote when they find similar
opportunities.  This is routine, and says nothing bad about you or
your English.  No one can excel in everything they do, and there's no
need to apologize or feel victimized when someone improves some text
you wrote.

LGTM, thanks.
