Remove superfluous adjective

Browse Source 
"own" may be used as an adjective, but must follow a possessive word. Rather than add "our" just remove the adjective entirely since ownership is not significant.

Providing our own implementations of language items would be possible, but this should only be done as a last resort. The reason is that language items are highly unstable implementation details and not even type checked (so the compiler doesn't even check if a function has the right argument types). Fortunately, there is a more stable way to fix the above language item error. While providing custom implementations of language items is possible, it should only be done as a last resort.

The `eh_personality` language item marks a function that is used for implementing [stack unwinding]. By default, Rust uses unwinding to run the destructors of all live stack variables in case of a [panic]. This ensures that all used memory is freed and allows the parent thread to catch the panic and continue execution. Unwinding, however, is a complicated process and requires some OS specific libraries (e.g. [libunwind] on Linux or [structured exception handling] on Windows), so we don't want to use it for our operating system.
