On page 70 of the Emacs 26 manual (10.8 Bookmarks) the phrase
> The prototypical use of bookmarks is to record where you were
> reading in various files.
After listing out various keybindings, the manual continues with
> The prototypical use for bookmarks is to record one current position
> in each of several files. So the command C-x r m, which sets a
> bookmark ...
This is potentially confusing, so might I suggest changing the second
paragraph to
> The command C-x r m, which sets a bookmark...
Thus eliminating the duplicate sentence.

Thanks, I've improved the wording there.
