Reading the GNU Emacs Manual and found a couple sentances that have
something wrong with them.

In the 4.1 Inserting Text section

If the radix is greater than 10, some letters starting with `a' serve as
part of a character code, just like digits.                  ^
                                                             ^
Not sure but it seems something is wrong here ---------------^ Maybe is
should be 'a'-'f'. Anyway it doesn't seem to read as I would think.

   Instead of `C-q', you can use `C-x 8 <RET>' (`ucs-insert') to insert
a character based on its Unicode name or code-point.  This commands
prompts for a character to insert, ...

The word commands should be command I believe.             ^^^^^^^
