It's a little easier for me for review purposes if you put the patch
inline. (By all means *also* attach it, if you think your mailer will
break things.) Also, I'd prefer to split out the formatting fixes and
the spelling fixes into two separate matches.

Anyway, thanks for spotting all of these, and for your patch (which
I've quoted below). I applied all of the changes for 3.42.

Cheers,

Michael
