Fix grammatical error #117

Closed okcoker closed 9 years ago

domenic commented 9 years ago

This isn't a grammar error. THe text as written is correct, and your correction is incorrect.

okcoker commented 9 years ago

So unresolved === pending? The "necessarily" wording is throwing me off when reading the sentence.

As in, if "not" is incorrect, I'd expect the sentence to just say something like: "A promise whose fate is unresolved is pending."

Is that correct?

@okcoker-

I think "necessarily" in the original text should be understood to mean "required to be".

domenic commented 9 years ago

Unresolved implies pending, but is not ===.

See e.g. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/f/franklloyd127723.html if you've never heard this use of necessarily before.

Ah, okay thanks. Makes sense now.
