fsck: Some typographical corrections to the manual
The word "kilobytes" is ambiguous. Change it to "kibibytes" if kilo does not mean 1000. Otherwise add "(1000 B)" after it. A string, that begins or ends with a full stop (.), protected with \& - changed to \- if it shows an option -- change to \(en if it means a dash (pause, separation) Space between sentences is two word spaces in *roff. Thus it is better to begin each sentence on a new line when the file contains formatting commands --- changed to \(en if it means a dash (pause, separation) Punctuation separated from a word with a space, if it is an argument to a macro like "BR" (two font styles used alternately) Adjusting inhibited for the section "SEE ALSO" with ".na/.ad" Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
