type of issue: Enhancement
priority: Trivial

R6RS component: Other (Textual)
version of the report:  5.91
one-sentence summary: 'of course' should not be used in the report

Section 1.9 (page 8, right column, just past the first table) reads:

    "The ’ is, of course, not needed for number or boolean literals"
               ^^^^^^^^^

I think that "of course" should be removed, because a) it is only  
obvious for those with a Scheme or Lisp background and b) a language  
specification should not make any assumptions about a reader's  
knowledge.
