= Improve English = [[TOC(GCI/QA/ImproveEnglish, depth=2)]] === Task Description === This task is repeatable and involves finding and fixing language problems in RTEMS code and supporting documents and web pages. === Directions for Students === Find and fix 5 spelling, grammar, or other English language errors in source comments within git://git.rtems.org/rtems.git, docs produced from the rtems/doc directory within the RTEMS git repository, the web pages within www.rtems.org, or this wiki. For fixes in the RTEMS git repository, submit a patch with the corrections.
