Description:
------------
bad grammar and a made-up word
Reproduce code:
---------------
http://us3.php.net/preg_replace
"If there are less keys in the replacement array than in the pattern
array, the excedent patterns will be replaced by an empty string."
this sentence does not parse; proper english requires "fewer" instead
of "less". also, i was unable to find a definition to the word(?)
"excedent" in the Oxford American Dictionary. as such, i do not
understand what the sentence means. what are "excedent patterns?"
