>Description:

        The select(2) man page reads:
        
                To _affect_ a poll, the timeout argument should be
                non-null, pointing to a zero-valued...
        
        This should be:
        
                To _effect_ a poll, the timeout argument should be
                non-null, pointing to a zero-valued...

        There are no polls affected by passing a zero-valued timeout
        argument, but the effect of a poll may be had by passing such
        an argument; thus one effects a poll by passing a zero-valued
        timeout argument.

>How-To-Repeat:

        Type `man 2 select', and open your favourite English
        dictionary.
