Fix grammar in 1.81.0 release #1400

Open schuelermine opened 1 month ago

This sentence is on the whole a bit weird as it’s not clear what the subject of "warn if it doesn't" is, but I think this conjugation makes more sense overall

schuelermine commented 1 month ago

I’ve just been informed that the sentence might’ve been intended to read as "allows explicitly noting, and allows explicitly warning". I feel that way of phrasing it is still worse than this one.

An alternate, more explicit, less ambiguous and weird way to phrase this would be

[…] which allows explicitly noting that a particular lint should occur, and causes the compiler to emit a warning if it doesn’t.
