From 855d6247adb39d4e38b698b89e519587318abd80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miss Islington (bot)" <31488909+miss-islington@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2021 07:01:54 -0700 Subject: [3.10]bpo-45463: Clarify that global statements allows multiple names (GH-28851) (GH-28989) The global statement allows specifying a list of identifiers (https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.htmlGH-the-global-statement). The "Execution model" chapter described the global statement as if it only allowed one single name. Pluralize "name" in the appropriate places.
