Various fixes: -- fix typos (e.g. "show" -> "shown") -- use "regular expression(s)" instead of "regexp" where appropriate -- reword some sentences for easier reading -- fix/improve some grammatical issues (e.g. comma usage) -- add missing articles (e.g. "the") -- change "E-mail" to "email"
Signed-off-by: Jason St. John <jstjohn@purdue.edu> --- I changed "E-mail" to "email" because that is clearly the dominant form: http://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=#q=%22email%22%2C%20%22E-mail%22&cmpt=q
