Corrections for OOP article

[Beliavsky]

I or someone should submit a PR -- just noting these as I see them.

At https://fortran-lang.org/learn/oop_features_in_fortran/object_based_programming_techniques/ "programmers intentions" should be "programmer's intentions", and "especially" should be capitalized.

"create a copy of an object and then getting rid of the original" should be "create a copy of an object and then get rid of the original" to maintain a consistent verb tense

Please Feel Free to Submit a PR , It would be great to have them !

@henilp105 To account for the suggestions by @Beliavsky, I just tried to file a PR. Each time I observe an initial admission, later a technical rejection, for instance

either after a local edit in my fork (with a git sparse checkout, i.e., only the files relevant to the booklet of OOP), or with the GitHub based edit/creation of a branch in the browser by period / .

Question: is it an error on my side, or perhaps a (temporary) question of the original GitHub repository's set up? The later seems a possibility because the link behind contributing on the landing page currently does not work.

@nbehrnd I'm not sure, but most likely seems to be a GitHub bug, that got resolved on its own. On my side it can be merged, does it still show as the above ?

Regarding the contributing landing page has a redirection bug, we would have missed to add a redirection to that page.

@henilp105 This PR corrects minor grammatical inconsistencies and improves readability in the Object-Based Programming Techniques documentation. The changes ensure better clarity and maintain a professional tone. Please review and let me know if any further refinements are needed. Thanks!

@henilp105 On today's revisit of the PR filed, it looks like the issue is gone and the page states the expected "a merge is up to the owners/maintainers of the original repository".

Maybe GitHub proposes a workflow slightly different to the one previously in place; note the line "try the new merge experience" (bottom right of the screen photo)

and a click could activate either one of two update modes:

So far, I did not engage with / clicked on either option because I presume this is going to work well only for a PR by an author with administrative privileges about the original GitHub repository. I didn't apply for such an extension because of too little knowledge on my side how fortran-lang.org as a web site is set up (and why parameters are set the way they are) plus the great benefit of a second read/technical review regarding Fortran before a PR is merged.

Because this PR addresses each of the issues identified by @Beliavsky, to me, it looks like the next step is a merge by one with these extended privileges.

@AliHaider332 Earlier last week, there was a suggestion/request to save/mirror a Wikipedia article about Fortran 95, see here. I started to convert it into a multipage booklet for the learning section. While this isn't completed yet, may I ping you later for a second read once it is ready e.g., a typo not recognized, inconsistency in style, etc. prior to filing the PR?

[henilp105]

@nbehrnd both the options imply to update your fork's branch to latest main, can can be applied by you (as the owner of fork).

I have built a preview of the changes which you can use to see how the changes look.

@henilp105 So it is just an embellished button to run git pull ... From my side, it is ready.
