I've found a number of language errors on the Scientific Linux web site, and
I'd love to be able to correct them, or to at least provide patches such that
they're corrected. I'm not sure what the requirements are for that sort of
access, but for now I'll just include the fixes here:

Apologies for this not being a proper diff, but as the pages are evidently
presented as a wiki, my supplying a diff against the HTML would likely
obfuscate the changes rather than highlighting them.

There are similar language errors through the SL web pages. Granted access,
I'll just fix them all, as this would in fact be quicker than recording them
all in another medium. Otherwise, I'll pick of a page at a time periodically
and submit lists of errors, as I did above, if this would be welcome. At some
point I'd like to become involved in volunteering time for actual software
maintenance, but my thought is that providing polish would be a reasonable
start.
