The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/static/datatype-datetime.html
Description:

On the page for Data Types - DateTime, there is this part of a sentence:

"....so the same time zone names are also recognized by much other
software."

The phrase of "much other software" is what caught me.  An optional
replacement would be: "many other software systems." or "multiple software
packages."

"much" has a connotation that doesn't fit here as well as "many" or
"multiple" would.

Thanks for the documentation.  It has been very helpful in clarifying some
things.
