Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-30 05:07:21] ammacdon at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ bad grammar and a made-up word Reproduce code: --------------- http://us3.php.net/preg_replace "If there are less keys in the replacement array than in the pattern array, the excedent patterns will be replaced by an empty string." this sentence does not parse; proper english requires "fewer" instead of "less". also, i was unable to find a definition to the word(?) "excedent" in the Oxford American Dictionary. as such, i do not understand what the sentence means. what are "excedent patterns?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38999&edit=1
