Re: [PATCH 0/24] make atomic_read() behave consistently across all architectures

Now the second wording *IS* technically correct, but come on, it's
24 words long whereas the original one was 3 -- and hopefully anybody
reading the shorter phrase *would* have known anyway what was meant,
without having to be pedantic about it :-)

Well you were talking pretty formal (and detailed) stuff, so
IMHO it's good to have that exactly correct.  Sure it's nicer
to use small words most of the time :-)
