The fix for "pirhana" -> "piranha" is good. The other is simply British versus American spelling.
Are you sure? I tried using British dictionaries when looking for typos in Hitchhiker and Bureaucracy, and none of them had "humourous", and https://www.lexico.com/definition/humorous lists it as a misspelling in both British and US English.
I think humourous
is actually a misspelling.
Oxford English Dictionary says
Note that although humor is the American spelling of humour, humorous is not an American form. This word is spelled the same way in both British and American English, and the spelling humourous is regarded as an error
These are the spelling fixes for Bureaucracy from The ZIL Files. The usual caveats apply: I'm not a native English speaker, so please check that the fixes are correct.
