There are a few grammatical errors in the API documentation.

FAIL

This should obviously read “Delete a comment identified by its id.” This isn't 4chan!

    It's preferred to point out a grammatical error without the excess moral revolt.

  • @sehe it's my opinion, much as the title of this question and the first comment are.

    @sehe It is. There are people who prefer it (like djechlin). Therefore, it is preferred.

    Somewhere the author of this documentation is grinning, thinking "that took them way too long to notice".

This is true. It should be fixed. The degree of intensity with which you push your point may be a bit excessive. While we're at it, the description for /users/{ids}/questions/featured /me/questions/featured has an erroneous comma. Arguably, the description for /access-tokens/{accessTokens} should have a period instead of a comma (going by the format of the page as a whole).
