typo: block and index flow - #45285

Conversation
I glanced at this page on 8/21/2026 and noticed a possible minor typographical error. Regarding the textual line in question, I suppose the sentence's subject is supposed to be "they". In the current version, the subject is more vague or unclear. Maybe you could alternatively rewrite the subject as "the block elements", and that would be potentially helpfully redundant. My expertise in CSS is questionable. So, please also double check the technical accuracy after deciding any change in the verbiage.

Description
This pull request deals with a minor potential typographical error.
Motivation
I glanced at this "Block and inline layout in normal flow" article on 8/21/2026, and noticed a possible minor typographical error. Regarding the textual line in question, I suppose the sentence's subject is supposed to be "they". In the current version, the subject is more vague or unclear. Maybe you could alternatively rewrite the subject as "the block elements", and that would be potentially helpfully redundant. My knowledge of CSS is questionable. So, please also double check the technical accuracy after deciding any change in the verbiage.

I didn't read 100% of the webpage's textual content. So, this pull request does not claim to address every possible issue with this webpage.
For minor textual changes, etc, maybe an easier editing workflow is: create and merge your own pull request with the same change, and close the external pull request. Via this option, there could be reduced chaos relating to having more strangers' names and comments in the git history.
