Tiny tips

[Paul W. Frields]

A couple bite-sized tips for writing as we collaborate on the wiki:

* Avoid dangling prepositions.

  "Note the version you are upgrading from."       <-- Incorrect
  "Note the version from which you are upgrading." <-- Correct

* Avoid personalization ("you," "he," "she") where doing so doesn't
  cause unnecessary awkwardness.

  "Note the version from which you are upgrading." <-- Not as good
  "Note the currently installed version."          <-- Better
