Comment 3 for bug 86284

Um, I wasn't being arrogant, nor did I disparage your suggestion. I simply said it sounded fine to me, noted that I was a native speaker in case that wasn't clear - since many of the people involved in the Ubuntu project are not - and asked for a reference in case this was one of the areas of grammar with which I was unfamiliar. (I don't regard the word "quibble" as disparaging, if that's what upset you; quibbling is an integral part of improving polish and general quality.) As a maintainer, an important part of maintaining quality is to ensure that I understand every change that's being made, rather than blindly accepting changes I don't understand. Furthermore, grammar sometimes varies between British and American English, and I had no idea which of those you spoke. There's no need to be sensitive about it.

I've changed the text to something similar to your second suggestion: "You need to specify a partition for the root file system (mount point "/") with a minimum size of 2 GB, and a swap partition of at least 256 MB. You may also set up other partitions if you wish." I've also changed a few other strings that used "Make sure to".
