I've found some typos, etc. in chapter 1 ("About This Guide") of the
GNAT Reference Manual.

Here they come in order of appearance:

#1

  This manual contains useful information in writing programs using the
  GNAT compiler.

  s/in writing/on writing

#2

  It includes information on implementation dependent characteristics
  of GNAT…

  s/implementation dependent/implementation-dependent

#3

  GNAT implements Ada 95, Ada 2005 and Ada 2012, and it may also be
  invoked in Ada 83 compatibility mode.

  s/Ada 2005 and Ada 2012, and/Ada 2005, and Ada 2012, but

#4

  By default, GNAT assumes Ada 2012, but you can override with a
  compiler switch to explicitly specify the language version.

  s/override/override that

#5

  Throughout this manual, references to ’Ada’ without a year suffix
  apply to all the Ada versions of the language.

  s/’Ada’ without a year suffix/Ada, without a year suffix,

  or
  
  s/’Ada’ without a year suffix/’Ada’ – i.e., without a year suffix –

#6

  However, since Ada is designed to be used in a wide variety of
  applications, it also contains a number of system dependent features
  to be used in interfacing to the external world.

  s/system dependent/system-dependent

  s/interfacing to/interfacing with


Maybe someone can take the time to fix these.


Thanks.
Michael
