Michael Kerrisk 710fdd5d6b lseek.2: Remove suspect note about 'whence' being incorrect English. 
As noted by Alan Curry:

According to man2/lseek.2,

 This document's use of whence is incorrect English, but
 maintained for historical reasons.

What is the grammatical objection?

From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
 whence
     adv 1: from what place, source, or cause

Wiktionary:
 [edit] Adverb
 whence (not comparable)
  1. From where; from which place or source.

lseek's second parameter is a distance to be traveled, and
the third parameter chooses the starting point from which
that distance is measured.  How is that not a "whence"?

Looking at some man page archives, I found that the accusation
of incorrect English goes back to before 4.4BSD. It survives
not just in the linux-man-pages but also in recent versions
of {Net,Open,Free}BSD. The name "whence" for this parameter
goes back at least to V7.

Of all the people who have read this page over the years,
am I the only one wondering... what's this about? Who decided
that "whence" was incorrect and put that note in the man page?
Was there ever anything wrong, or do we have someone's
20-year-old unresearched pet peeve lingering in the man pages?
