After receiving some feedback about the patches
I had sumbmitted yeasterday, I decided to go
back and resubmit them so they don't create
so much churn(just focus on typos).

Your adding grammertical error's.

Please get this patch reviewed by an English speaker.

Eschew the active voice?

well, after figuring out how to have git send -email functioning correctly,
I needed something to send.      : ^ )
(but after doing a quick google filesystem did show up).

That seems viable to me.

No I will not be afraid of submitting patches, and having them be rejected.
all part of the learning curve.

I'd suggest generally not starting out with spelling, grammatical and 
formatting patches.  It eats reviewer bandwidth, perturbs the codebase 
(causing people working on it to have to update their code) and does not 
give you as much opportunity to to learn about the code.

Try fixing smaller, known bugs or adding small useful changes.

The TODO list for the SELinux kernel code is here:
http://selinuxproject.org/page/Kernel_Development

You can also email the maintainers and ask for suggestions on what to 
tackle.

No my intentions were not to eat reviewer bandwidth, or get in the way.
just turned out as I was going through(for example) hooks.c I noticed a 
portion of it
had proper grammar, and then a portion of it seemed as if the author was too
much in a hurry to worry about that.(so I figured hey why not, that's all).

alright James,
Thanks for taking the time
next time I decide to have a major case of
OCD, I'll remember that creating churn is not
a good idea.
