This is exaktly what Dominic wanted to say. 

s/A/B/ means "substitute A with B". It is a command in vi, the most
common unix text editor and also some other unix tools. Thus
s/39.7/37.9/ means, translated from unix-users-slang to plain English:
"Oops, that is wrong, please replace each occurence of 39.7 in the text
above with 37.9". (Actually, it doesn't mean that *exactly*, but it
would go too far to discuss the subtleties of regular expressions and vi
commands in this context).
