Use less colourful language on Download page.
It struck me recently that someone might quite reasonably object to
the use of 'crippling' to characterise a software bug. Change to
'inconvenient'.

Give primacy in wording to SSH.
Really, if anyone is still using Telnet these days, they _deserve_ not
to have their protocol mentioned first in any sentence :-)

Avoid TeX-style `' quotes in web page text.
They look pretty horrible in normal browser fonts, and I think these
days there's no reason not to use Unicode smart quotes in practice.

Avoid uninformative 'this site' and 'here' in hyperlinks.
I recall hearing that that's bad practice, because the text of
hyperlinks can be taken out of context by accessibility software. So
I've found all the obvious cases I can, and rewritten their links so
that the text inside the <a> tag at least says _something_ related to
what the link is pointing at.

Fix rogue uses of the first person singular.
PuTTY has been a team effort for a long time, but there are still a
few "I" and "me" lurking in the text of the website and dating from
before there was more than one of us. Time to sort them out.
