I did not understand what is difficult to understand about my first
message.  It has five patches, each surrounded by the output of
~message-mark-inserted-region~ and preceded by a tentative commit
message.  I also did not understand what you asked above.  Maybe my
English comprehension has failed me (I am Brazilian).

Anyway, here is the revised first patch, preceded by a tentative commit
message -- is this what you asked for?:

TUTORIAL: "buffer" vs "file" consistency; capitalize Dired

- For consistency with C-x C-f ("Find file") and C-x C-s ("Save file"),
  refer to C-x s as "Save some files".
- Capitalize "Dired".
