Thank you Randy for pointing out. I am really sorry that i missed the
incorrect change while creating the Patch. I have reverted the
incorrect change in this version.
Fix couple of grammar and spelling issues such as:
diagnosic -> diagnostic
Cuurently accepted directives -> The currently accepted directives
This patch aims to correct these issues and enhance the existing
documentation.
