Language questions

I think it may be useful, especially to non-native English speakers, to have a thread in which some language questions may be asked and answered.

 

I am currently working on the Readme for the Special Edition of "Willy's New Mansion".

 

I have the following description there, in the section dealing with code changes:

From "WNM SE" Readme file, a description of changes between the Original Edition and the Special Edition:

 

Possible IDSes when exiting down to "The Changing Room" have been eliminated thanks to the changes at the upper left of that room.

 

"at" the upper left or "on" the upper left? or either? or something else still?

 

EDIT: Similarly (concerning the room "Altar to a Well-Known God"):

 

Two Fire cells have been added following a suggestion by Ian Rushforth, who spotted the fact that Willy could get stuck on the lower right of the dollar sign.

 

"on" or "at" the lower right?

Thanks, Ian!

 

Here's another one:

 

An excerpt from a disassembly of a PV (the last bit of it):

 

 

CCD2  C3 E3 97   JP #97E3       jump to the start of the PV which changes

                                the direction of the conveyor every 32

                                ticks (and ends with the RET

                                instruction)

 

Should this be: "ends with the RET instruction" (because the instruction has been named, so it's specific) or "ends with a RET instruction" (as one of the millions of RET instructions which exist in ZX Spectrum programs)?
