In the article on Microsoft Windows, you've mentioned that "directory" should be changed to "directly". I'm in complete agreement, and I think that paragraph likely contains some other grammar/usage errors that aren't as easily identified -- it reads a bit like it's been written by someone whose first language isn't English, which may be the case, and thus it would be helpful to the author to have it edited/proofread so that it reads as more native-like. There's also the possibility that it's been revised multiple times and has ended up opaque in meaning, resulting in the same need for editing assistance.

At the very least, that "directory" needs to be changed. As may well be quite obvious, I've got almost no experience with editing Wikipedia (my apologies if this comment is missated, overlong, and/or in the wrong format -- the "description", "what you type" and "what you get" example in the box immediately above what I'm typing now leads me to think that all three possiblities are the case); however, I'm keen to learn how to do this better and I'd like to know how to make the change you've suggested, that "directly" be substituted in. Any ideas or assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Given that I could definitely use the experience, I'm happy to put in the time (e.g. make requests to the appropriate authorities, wait for and respond to permission once it's granted, and what have you) to make the change occur. My motivation is a desire for correct usage and linguistic improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm Nicole, and I'm pleased to (figuratively? virtually?) meet you.
