Changed cancelability to cancellability.
This is a localization issue. Words like 'travel' and 'cancel' usually
decline to forms with a doubled 'l' in Commonwealth English but retain
an unmodified stem in U.S. English.
You are right. But e.g. pthread_cancel already contains cancellation.
So I think that cancellability would be matching the already existing
style. Or cancellation is also changed to cancelation.
In general (with a few exceptions, see
<https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/ffe209ee-809c-10ea-c077-12669ff0f5ab@xxxxxxxxx/>),
we prefer US English. If you would like to send a patch for
s/cancellation/cancelation/ I'd like to merge it.
Thanks!
Alex
Sincerely,
Samanta
