Spelling changes to many files #166

Closed iandstanley closed 3 years ago

iandstanley commented 3 years ago

I was getting a little frustrated with a number of spelling mistakes in many of the files (OCD?).

I don't blame anybody as people vary in their language skills, English may not be their first language or as most probably occurred as simply typos

Anyhow I decided to spellcheck the repo and made a number of changes to many files. I have kept to US English spelling rather than my own UK spelling as I'm guessing more users would be familiar with US spelling than UK

To my knowledge, the default, with no apparent official recommendation to the contrary, is to default to 644 and 755 for files and directories, respectively. I'm aware of this because I've always changed my umask to 0077

It’s definitely in RHEL Arch Wiki and Debian in their security section

Most others are either derivatives or wouldn’t contradict those settings as they have been standard practice since I started with Unix back in the late 1980s

Love it. Some things with which I do disagree, but otherwise happy to see I'm not the only one who gets irked by this stuff. ;

I’m happy for anyone to back out any odd changes if they prefer
