The "wrong" word is British English. I see other BE words used all around the documentation, so most probably either we change all to American English or just stay with BE.

> guestfs-release-notes.1 | filesytem          | filesystem

This comes from the title of bug #690819.

> virt-make-fs.1          | QEmu/KVM           | qemu/KVM

I guess this and the "qemu/KVM" occurrences should rather be "QEMU/KVM".

> guestfs-release-notes.1 | Addng              | Adding
> guestfs-release-notes.1 | chinese            | Chinese
> guestfish.1             | non-existant       | non-existent
> Sys::Guestfs.3pm        | non-existant       | non-existent

These should be fixed for sure.
