Please see https://www.blender.org/manual/editors/3dview/object/relationships/parents.html:
Figure 23: Replace "an" with "as". IMHO, it's confusing to explain an option (Deform) and showing another panel. As a first-time reader, I had expected the given image as context and the Option "Deform" (ticked) shown in a second image or solely a Screenshot of the Option "Deform.
When describing how to alter an Envelope's size, there should be clearly stated that the combination Ctrl-Alt-S must be held during dragging the mouse.
The term "bone context" in path descriptions like Properties Editor ‣ Bone Context ‣ Deform should be set in angle brackets (Properties Editor ‣ ‣ Data ‣ Deform). Such a rule could be published as standard in the "Writing Style Guide".

The search terms "2-button Mouse", "Continuous Grab", "and" and many more don't lead to results like https://www.blender.org/manual/preferences/input.html#mouse (in the table header). Maybe not all subsites are included by the search engine / only the words in a predefined search index will be deeper inspected.
Perhaps, it would be useful to mark (in remote future) the figures internally with the corresponding Blender version number to facilitate comprehensive manual edits due to new releases.
Finally, I would like to thank for a very fast and uncomplicated resolving of new issues!

There is no figured labeled 23 on that page do you mean 22?
