[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Steps to reproduce the bug:

- C-h r
- We can read the following text: "Killing (cutting) and yanking (copying)
text".

This is incorrect.  The correct text should be "Killing (cutting) and
yanking (pasting) text".

I've attached a patch with the correction.  (I've not filled the bug number
in the commit message because I don't know which number the bug tracker
will assign to this bug report.)

Thanks.
