>Description:
Almost trivial typos in gmirror.8.
>How-To-Repeat:
man gmirror
>Fix:
Diff to gmirror.8 v1.11 attached.  The first two are perhaps a little
subjective.  (In fact, the first is not even an error.  It just sounds
awkward.  The second is similarly strictly correct, but sounds better
with a definite article.)  The third should be changed to "List all
currently configured devices;" or "List every currently configured
device;".  I chose the latter.
