From bdf7fdf7e13d643abde4949cba88f836ea296af4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Winni Neessen Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2024 10:44:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix typographic errors in README.md This commit rectifies a couple of typographic errors in the README.md file. Notably, there was a typo 'abondoning' which has been corrected to 'abandoning' and, it tidies up punctuation within the sentences. The main focus was to ensure readability and clarity of the documentation. --- README.md | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index d340017..47045fa 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -15,11 +15,11 @@ SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0 _apg-go_ is a simple APG-like password generator written in Go.
