Package: debian-kernel-handbook
Version: 1.0.17
Severity: minor

After handling #818577 I decided to spell-check the entire document.
I didn't find any other definite errors, though "prepended" is not
widely accepted and should probably be "prefixed".

I did notice that for those words that have different spellings in
American and British English, we sometimes have American spellings and
sometimes British.  (This is possibly due to my writing most of the
new text and using British spelling by default.)  We should really
settle on which conventions to use, and document that.

Ben.
