[9front] Patch: man section 1 typos

[9front] Patch: man section 1 typos

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 371 bytes --]

Hello,

I ran the man pages in section 1 through spell to find more typos. Note that I'm not a native english speaker, so there might be a few things that were totally fine before I fixed it.

Note I wasn't able to generate a patch using git/diff, so I diff'd the files individually and cat'd everything together. I hope you can apply the patch without issues.

Thank you, I've applied this. I did have to manually fix the diff file paths.
I am not quite sure why your git/diff is broken but I would recommend fixing that.
