This PR is a fix for an issue listed in #110383.

Use widely used non-integer instead of non-integral.
While both terms can be used to mean the same thing, "non-integer number" is the more precise and commonly used term. "Non-integral number" might sometimes be used in a broader sense in certain mathematical contexts, but it generally carries the same meaning as "non-integer number" when referring to real numbers.

You should rename this to have the issue number in the description. For example, calling it gh-110383: Address two issues from docs@python.org would better fit the naming convention.

Thanks for the PR! It is preferable to fix only one issue per PR; even one-liners. This is because different changes may have different backporting needs.

Apart from the leading whitespace in L1565 (IIRC), this looks like an improvement to me. I'll wait for @mdickinson's thumbs up before landing, though.

Thanks!
