I am sorry that you feel bad, but I did not mean this as personal
criticism of you, or anyone.  It is a matter of style of how we write.
You don't need to feel criticized.

If you try your best to follow these rules, it is no grave problem if
you sometimes make mistakes.  Everyone makes mistakes, and you don't
need to feel bad about them.  Other developers will fix them.
