Code Review: Fix typo in syntax comment in Makefile

1. Overall Assessment

This pull request aims to correct a perceived typo in a comment within the Makefile. While the intention to improve code quality and documentation is appreciated, the proposed change from "syntax" to "syntaxes" is grammatically incorrect in this context and makes the comment less clear. The original wording was more appropriate.

My recommendation is to close this pull request and retain the original comment.

2. Strengths

• Attention to Detail: The contributor is paying close attention to the details of the codebase, including comments, which is a great quality.
• Small & Focused: The pull request is small, atomic, and addresses a single, specific issue, which is an excellent practice.
• Clear Intent: The PR title clearly communicates the purpose of the change.

3. Issues Found

• Code Quality / Documentation: The proposed change introduces a grammatical error. The word "syntax" is most often used as a mass (uncountable) noun, referring to the general set of rules for a language or system. The plural form "syntaxes" is rare and typically only used when comparing the distinct rule sets of multiple different languages (e.g., "The linter supports both Python and Ruby syntaxes."). In the context of this comment, which describes the files to be checked, the singular form "syntax" is the correct and more natural choice. The check is for "correct syntax" within the files, not for multiple "syntaxes."

4. Suggestions

My primary suggestion is to revert this change and keep the original wording.

1. Revert the Change: The original comment, Default files to check for syntax, is grammatically correct and idiomatic. I recommend closing this PR and leaving the original comment as is.

2. Alternative Phrasing (Optional): If the goal is to improve clarity further, a better alternative might be to rephrase the comment entirely, for example:

   • # Default files to check for syntax errors
   • # Default files and directories to lint for correct syntax

   However, the original comment is perfectly adequate and does not require a change.

5. File-specific Comments

File: Makefile
Line: 1

Comment:
The change from # Default files to check for syntax to # Default files to check for syntaxes makes the comment grammatically awkward.

In this context, "syntax" refers to the property of having a valid structure. We are checking files for this property. Therefore, the singular, uncountable form "syntax" is the correct term. I recommend reverting this to the original text.

- # Default files to check for syntaxes
+ # Default files to check for syntax

Code Review: Fix typo in syntax comment in Makefile

1. Overall Assessment

Thank you for your contribution! This pull request aims to correct a perceived typo in a comment within the Makefile.

While the attention to detail is appreciated, the proposed change from "syntax" to "syntaxes" is grammatically incorrect in this context. The original wording was standard and correct. Therefore, I recommend closing this pull request without merging.

2. Strengths

• Attention to Detail: It's great to see contributors paying close attention to the details of the codebase, including comments. Keeping documentation and comments clean is valuable.
• Small & Focused: The pull request is atomic, addressing a single, specific issue. This is excellent practice and makes reviews much easier.

3. Issues Found

• Code Quality (Grammar): The proposed change introduces a grammatical error.
  • Description: The word "syntax" is generally used as a mass noun (uncountable), much like "code" or "music". When checking multiple files, you are checking them all for correct "syntax", not for multiple "syntaxes".
  • The plural form "syntaxes" is used only when referring to different types or systems of syntax (e.g., "The syntaxes of C++ and Python are very different."). That is not the case here, where the comment refers to the general concept of syntactic correctness across a set of files.

4. Suggestions

1. Close the Pull Request: Since the original wording is correct, this change should not be merged.
2. Add a PR Description in the Future: For future contributions, even for very small changes, it's helpful to add a short description explaining the reasoning behind the change. In this case, it would have helped the reviewer immediately understand your thought process.

5. File-specific Comments

File path: Makefile
Line number: 1

- # Default files to check for syntax
+ # Default files to check for syntaxes

Comment:
The original phrasing, # Default files to check for syntax, is the correct and idiomatic way to write this comment. In this context, "syntax" acts as a mass noun, referring to the single concept of syntactic correctness that is being checked across multiple files. The proposed change to syntaxes is grammatically incorrect for this use case. The original line should be kept as is.
