On a graphical display, such as on GNU/Linux using the X Window
-System, Emacs occupies a ``graphical window''. On a text terminal,
+System, Emacs occupies a graphical window. On a text terminal,
Emacs occupies the entire terminal screen. We will use the term
@dfn{frame} to mean a graphical window or terminal screen occupied by
Emacs. Emacs behaves very similarly on both kinds of frames. It
above the echo area, is called @dfn{the window}. Henceforth in this
manual, we will use the word ``window'' in this sense. Graphical
display systems commonly use the word ``window'' with a different
-meaning; but, as stated above, we refer to those ``graphical windows''

as ``frames''.
An Emacs window is where the @dfn{buffer}---the text you are
string is displayed, that indicates a nontrivial end-of-line
convention for encoding a file. Usually, lines of text are separated
by @dfn{newline characters} in a file, but two other conventions are
-sometimes used. The MS-DOS convention uses a ``carriage-return''
-character followed by a ``linefeed'' character; when editing such
+sometimes used. The MS-DOS convention uses a carriage-return
+character followed by a linefeed character; when editing such
files, the colon changes to either a backslash (@samp{\}) or
@samp{(DOS)}, depending on the operating system. Another convention,
-employed by older Macintosh systems, uses a ``carriage-return''
+employed by older Macintosh systems, uses a carriage-return
character instead of a newline; when editing such files, the colon
changes to either a forward slash (@samp{/}) or @samp{(Mac)}. On some
systems, Emacs displays @samp{(Unix)} instead of the colon for files
The next element on the mode line is the string indicated by
@var{ch}. This shows two dashes (@samp{--}) if the buffer displayed
in the window has the same contents as the corresponding file on the
-disk; i.e., if the buffer is ``unmodified''. If the buffer is
+disk; i.e., if the buffer is unmodified. If the buffer is
modified, it shows two stars (@samp{**}). For a read-only buffer, it
shows @samp{%*} if the buffer is modified, and @samp{%%} otherwise.
