docs: typo: tiny grammar change: "pointed by" -> "pointed to by" #118411

Closed zipperer closed 2 weeks ago

zipperer commented 3 weeks ago

This commit uses "file pointed to by" to replace "file pointed by" in

The docs use "file pointed to by" more frequently than "file pointed by". So, this commit replaces the uses of "file pointed by" in order to make the uses consistent through the docs.

$ grep -ri 'pointed to by' cpython/

yields more results than

$ grep -ri 'pointed by' cpython/

Separately:

There are two occurrences of "tree pointed by":

For those uses of "tree pointed by", I expect "tree pointed to by" instead. However, I found enough uses online of (a) "tree pointed by" rather than (b) "tree pointed to by" to convince me that (a) is in common use.

So, this commit does not replace those occurrences of "tree pointed by" to "tree pointed to by". But I will replace them if a reviewer believes it is correct to replace them.

I added a commit that replaces 'exists and executable' with 'exists and is executable'. The new commit is not related to the 'pointed by' -> 'pointed to by' changes from the first commit on the pull request. But the new commit does not warrant its own pull request, so I tacked it on here.
