Since you are offering that ;-), I find the the wording "(but inexact)" 
in

  When <code>STOP</code> or <code>ERROR STOP</code> are used to 
  terminate the execution and any exception (but inexact) is signaling

a bit confusing.  Any chance you can reword this somehow?


I also committed a number of editorial changes (grammar, shorter
sentences,...) per the patch below.
