The following errata report has been submitted for RFC8446,
"The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.3".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6128

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Ben Smyth <research@bensmyth.com>

Section: GLOBAL

Original Text
-------------
terminate and abort are used interchangeable, but this isn't explained until after such use.

In Section 6.2, we have: In the rest of this specification, when the phrases "terminate the connection" and "abort the handshake" are used without a specific alert it means that the implementation SHOULD send the alert indicated by the
descriptions below.  

Corrected Text
--------------
Perhaps explain terminology earlier. At the very least, in Section 6.2, open the above sentence with "Throughout this specification"
