Love it 🙂, will go through these for 0.9

[Tyriar]

Thanks, I changed most of these. I didn't do the "allows for" because I believe both are valid and the previous way sounds more natural to me. This might be aus vs us preference? Not sure where you're from 🙂

It's fine you should write the way you feel comfortable with.

It just sounded to me, like something was missing between "allow" and "manipulating".

But your right, it depends on what we're used to.

Searching on google for:

• "allow manipulating" found: About 20 300 results
• "allow for manipulating" found: About 326 000 results

So there are lots of uses of both variants.

And for example: languagetool.org says: Looks good. No mistakes were found. with or without "for" between "allow" and "manipulating" in the sentence:

When text is drawn, handles appear which allow manipulating the text's dimensions. The following options are available to configure how the text is drawn:

I believe both are valid
