Thanks, I've fixed these (and several more instances of "accomodate")
on the emacs-23 branch, and a few additional ones on the trunk.

(info "(emacs) Mode Line")

The third-to-last paragraph, has `through' instead of `though'.

(info "(emacs) Repeating")

Maybe it's my limited imagination, but

To repeat the command more than once, type additional `z''s: each

          ^^^^^^
... has never looked right.  `z's' maybe?

(info "(emacs) Minibuffer Edit")

`accomodate' should be `accommodate'.
