Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Manual pages: scriptlive.1: Miscellaneous wording, grammar, and formatting fixes
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2020 10:15:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200715081546.112933-2-mtk.manpages@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200715081546.112933-1-mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

of the edits into one patch.
