Hey @izuzak!  

I’m a native English speaker.  English is a weird language, with lots of special cases.  (It’s due to its “mutt” like, hybrid nature.)

There are certainly situations in which a change like this would change the meaning of the sentence.  In this case, I do not believe the meaning of this sentence changes; therefore, my edit was purely based on preferred style.

That said, after a re-read of this edit, I’ve just thought of a better way to phrase the sentence.  So, hang on a moment, and I’ll have this fixed in a few! :)
