Many thx for this, change looks good.

Acked-by: Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

That being said: I wonder if the the changelog could or should be
improved, as it IMHO just describes what is quite obvious from the
change itself. I'd go with "Fix three spelling/grammar mistakes."
instead[1]. Yes, it's feels like "too short" and "what the subject
already says". But well, there is not much to say here, so why bore
readers with more? But it's just a detail and for a small change like
this likely not worth bothering much about.

Ciao, Thorsten
