Description:
Correction for function Name & Description HTML table:

FROM_UNIXTIME() does not "Format date as a UNIX timestamp"

How to repeat:
1. open page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html
2. search for "FROM_UNIXTIME()"
3. observe HTML table content one column to the right of highlighted search string

Suggested fix:
the problem is the preposition "as", could become "from": 

    "Formatted date from a UNIX timestamp"
