As I read the excellent Pythons documentation, I occasionally come across rhetorical constructions that might be improved. Here's one prom ython-2.7.10-docs-html/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-exec-statement
The first expression should evaluate to either a
Unicode string, a Latin-1 encoded string, an open file
object, a code object, or a tuple.
"Either" introduces *two* items, as in "either True or False ." In the sentence above it's used to introduce four items. It would be better to omit the "either" and say
The first expression should evaluate to a Unicode
string, a Latin-1 encoded string, an open file object,
a code object, or a tuple.
If the organization is interested in receiving further rhetorical suggestions, I will send them along.
