You misread the patch, it changes "a" to "an", which makes the text
correct English.  I thought I'd save you some work by installing the
patch myself, which I just did, but unfortunately to master instead of
emacs-29 (and also forgot to add the bug number).  Should I revert it
and install to the release branch?  Sorry for the trouble.
