Bug #4091: Ruby man page
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4091

Author: Arthur Gunn
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: DOC, Target version: 1.9.x
ruby -v: 1.9

I installed 1.9.2 recently and was reading through its man page. It seems=
 to be a little out of date and contains some miss-spellings and awkward =
english.

I've attached a patch (also available at https://github.com/gunn/ruby/com=
mit/cabe4be ) with some of the most obvious fixes.
I think more can be done to make the text read more naturally, but I thou=
ght it would be good to see what people thought of the more straightforwa=
rd changes first.

There were also some things I wasn't sure about updating:
The date is currently 'October 25, 2008', is there a policy for updating =
this?
http://raa.ruby-lang.org is mentioned. Is this still considered current? =
The last news update was from 2005. Surely http://rubygems.org is at leas=
t as deserving of a mention?

Thanks!
