Обсуждение: Phrasing to consider (non-technical)
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/static/datatype-datetime.html Description: On the page for Data Types - DateTime, there is this part of a sentence: "....so the same time zone names are also recognized by much other software." The phrase of "much other software" is what caught me. An optional replacement would be: "many other software systems." or "multiple software packages." "much" has a connotation that doesn't fit here as well as "many" or "multiple" would. Thanks for the documentation. It has been very helpful in clarifying some things. --Kevin.

The new text is now: names are also recognized by other software. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
