 There can be up to two orthogonal comment sequences. This is to support\n\
 language modes such as C++.  By default, all comment sequences are of style\n\
 a, but you can set the comment sequence style to b (on the second character\n\
 of a comment-start, or the first character of a comment-end sequence) using\n\
 this flag:\n\
- b means C is part of comment sequence b.\n\
+ b means CHAR is part of comment sequence b.\n\

- p means C is a prefix character for `backward-prefix-chars';\n\
+ p means CHAR is a prefix character for `backward-prefix-chars';\n\
    such characters are treated as whitespace when they occur\n\
