Design and Build Great Web APIs: Clarity suggestion (page 25)

Title: Name of book: Design and Build Great Web APIs (page 25)

Two sentences above subtitle Safe and Idempotent: “For example the PATCH keyword was standardized in 2010, and other keywords used in the past, too.”

This seems a little awkward to me. Did you mean “There were many keywords introduced in the past, for example, the PATCH keyword was standardized in 2010.” Or did you mean “For example, the PATCH keyword was standardized in 2010, and even older keywords were standardized before that.” However, this seems pretty obvious, so consider cutting the second part of the sentence all together and just say “For example, the PATCH keyword was standardized in 2010.”
