Some dictionaries spell it either way, but it should be spelled
consistently (see 3 lines below).

You are correct, I went with the above since it did appear below and was the default in my references. We can always swap and change the below.

This was my error, I tried to use at least two sources for the others but in this case apparently my initial spell checker was ignorant and I forgot to check elsewhere. Can be left as is.

There is actually no such word in the dictionaries I have access to
(including the OED). An -ing form would be "-lling" in British English
and ext3 is maintained in the UK which is probably why it uses "lling".
This was discussed at length about three years ago and the lling was the
decision taken at the end of the thread.

That one ought to get fixed instead if anything to be consistent.

Persistantly is also correct. Both forms are valid English

levelling with double ll is also correct English. Single "l" is an
Americanism. Please stop trying to "Americanise" the Kconfig files and
just fix actual errors.

Opposite here with my upstart American English references. :)

This version was actually used several times in the KConfig as well. (See below)

^Both are reverted. I can honestly say I'm in no way attempting to Americanise/Americanize the files or the kernel...I've intentionally passed by all the spellings I found to be valid in either Engish (Colour/Color, -ise vs -ize for example). My reference dictionaries, which I will be changing now, were apparently more biased than I thought (they did support *some* british english). English is complicated enough on either side of the pond, and when you combine the two you've got a whole new source of chaos and confusion. I'm just trying to correct real mistakes, and I appologize if I err along the way.
The updated patch is below.

Things like "journal[l]ing" are hard as there is no real way answer. No
need to apologi[sz]e either, I'm just trying to help verify them.
