-Rework the highlighted section so the focus is on how to correct each error. This article doesn't need to explain the associated language feature. Instead, in each section, provide links to language reference or language specification material that explains the rules violated when these diagnostics appear. Add explanatory context after each correction (in parentheses with the error code). Provided brief reasons why each correction is needed. Use detailed, sentence-style explanations rather than brief imperative statements. For each recommendation put the affectived error codes in parentheses, and in **bold** style. Remove extensive examples.

+## Verify error messages
+
+For every line in this table, verify that the error message associated with this error code matches the verbatim text in CSharpResources.resx. You can find the mapping using ErrorCodes.cs:
+
+1. Find that number as a constant in `ErrorCodes.cs`.
+2. Locate the corresponding `data` element in CSharpResources.resx. The `name` atttribute should match the number of the constant.
+3. Read the error message found in the `<value>` element that is a child of that `<data>` element.

+<make your own hand edits>

+Now, ensure every instance of an error message matches the text in the highlighted table.
