'/usr/share/man/man8/sg_read.8.gz' has typos.  Patch attached.

Some examples with comments about why some things are in the patch.
Using 'man sg_read | less -N':

     12        Read  data  from  a  Linux SCSI generic (sg) device, a raw

     88        output of thid command will look like this:

    106        To time streaming media  read  or  write  time  see  sg_dd  is

Trimmed.


Several sentences lacked periods or trailing double spaces.  Added.


Hope this helps...
