If you use 'FooBar' as an example for an argument, it's better to
*not* use
'@var'. If you want to use '@var', say
@code{'@var{color}}
to make 'color' a meta-variable and use @var{color} in the surrounding
text as a
reference to it.
Thanks, that is better. Done.

Nope. It's grammatical dogma (in the same vein as not starting sentences
with the words 'And' or 'Because). I think commas after these
abbreviations look ugly. It's not CG policy either - I checked - and, in
fact, the examples we give in CG 5.4.7 don't use commas either.
And please avoid lines longer than 80 characters.
Thanks, fixed.

See my comment on the other file about this.
This is especially important for the PDFs since by default
`texinfo.tex` doesn't
use frenchspacing, thus inserting a larger horizontal space after a
full stop.
So? If it were that bad why are we using two spaces after a full point
then?
Which has nothing to do with grammar and would mean this would have to
be made policy (which it isn't) and fixed throughout the entire doc.
