Hello all,

While browsing the nftables documentation I noticed that the word
"performance" is often misused in a variety of ways. For instance,
on the main page[1],

    Fast lookups through performance data structures: The new syntax
    allows you to arrange you rule-set in a very performance way
    contrary to purely linear-list based filtering policies.

The use in the first sentence might be acceptable as a colloquialism but
really could be improved by replacing "performance" with "high
performance".

The second sentence is a bit more serious as it uses "performance", a
noun, as an adjective. You might consider replacing this with
"performance-oriented" or a similar rewrite. I've found this same
mix-up in a few other places as well[2].

I also noticed a couple other small issues,

  * [3] misspells "hybrid"
  * The "Basic operational" section of the documentation ToC would be
    named "Basic operation"

Otherwise thanks for the great packet mangling framework and thorough
documentation!

Cheers,

- Ben
