[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I spent some time slicing-and-dicing the documentation with different 
tools and pipelines to find spelling issues. I ignored changelogs, since 
I don't know if spelling fixes in there would be worthwhile or appreciated.

The attached patch was made against 
7f3877e83405a089b580fe9d0342dc0b6c08cbfc (2018-09-20) and consists 
solely of spelling fixes to documentation. If you would prefer these 
fixes be submitted in a different manner, please let me know.

-Mak

Thanks, I pushed most of these (in a couple of cases I made different
changes).

Spelling fixes do need log entries, but we no longer maintain
ChangeLog files.  Instead, the log entries, formatted as for ChangeLog
files, are used as commit log messages.  So please in the future do
provide the log entries.

Btw, the amount of changes we can accept without copyright assignment
is limited, so if you intend to continue contributing, please consider
starting your legal paperwork (I can send you the form off-list if you
are interested).
