Yep @jrm, good catch on the channel link, thank you. Fixed. I'm ignoring the nit picking — even my grammar checker (ProWritingAid) thinks that's wrong. You're highlighting a reading stylistic choice, which is fine, but is left to the reader. Grammatically it's incorrect. My edit stands 😊
Sure. That's why I listed it as an optional suggestion. Your grammar checker must also say the first sentence is wrong because it's the same situation.
On YouTube, we host... (comma)
On the main FreeBSD channel you'll find... (no comma)

I got curious and also put the sentence into a grammar checker. Without the commas, it flagged it as an error.
I guess English just sucks, and our grammar checkers can't even agree.
@bcr is that a stylistic choice we make across the site?
Update: Ah yes, I see it in the doc guide now https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/writing-style/
Noted. Update coming!
@bcr I'm going to politely disagree with you 😄 Look at the page as it stands now … https://www.freebsd.org/community/ full of 'you'. I actually think in this context it is _correct_ to refer to the reader, it's more personal and _welcoming_, which is surely the point of a community…
