Fix two English usage errors caught by Jan Wells: Changed "subsequence" to "sub-sequence" in two places, and avoid improper use of "hopefully" in the first paragraph of the "What Now?" chapter. --- Doc/tut/tut.tex | 12 +++++++----- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/tut/tut.tex b/Doc/tut/tut.tex index 85d58055f28..44021389f89 100644 --- a/Doc/tut/tut.tex +++ b/Doc/tut/tut.tex @@ -942,7 +942,7 @@ the same object!
