Grammar/punctuation fixes

Hi,

I'd like to submit some grammar/punctuation fixes for the PostgreSQL website. Is a pull request permitted or should I discuss proposed changes here first?

The changes mainly involve correct use of commas and semicolons.

Thanks,
Anthony DeBarros

Discussing here is fine - bonus points for attaching a diff with the 
changes :)

Thanks,

Respectfully submitting a patch to make the download pages about macOS and Windows more readable via some minor edits.

On the Windows download page[1] and macOS download page[2]:

  • Transform the paragraph of items included in the EDB installer into a list for readability.
  • Split a long sentence in two.
  • Trim some wordiness/redundancies.
  • Remove italics around “Advanced users”.


Thank you for considering,
Anthony DeBarros

You're welcome. If you like that general approach -- minimal edits focused on readability/brevity -- I'd be glad to look for other places on the site for edits.
