Typo in Help file

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Hmm, are you sure that it needs to be plural here?

It is plural, and petermad thinks it shouldn't be.

All who have answered aren't native English speakers. Any opinion from an Englishman or American, please?

:) Good afternoon,

• No need to be a native English speaker, according to Oxford's dictionary, you might write “any of files”
to use the plural when the sentence is not negative…
• With the meaning “no matter which” without “of”, singular is needed since it means one item among a bunch.

I asked my wife, who is American - she preferred the singular form, but wouldn't completely rule out using the present plural form.

This is not fixed/changed in TC7pb4 - so I guess it should be moved to the "TC7 Behaviour which will not be changed" section?

I'd definitely go with the singular. And I'm half-American.
