It would be better to do this in a single patch instead, with subject:

docs: fix some spellos/typos in man pages

And then put the above eight lines in the commit message.

Ok, I'm used to 1 patch 1 fix.  While they're all spelling/typos they're 
not the same word/typo.

But obviously it's trivial for me to squash them into 1 commit and 
resend if that will make folks happy.

 That makes sense for code, esp. to make regressions bisectable.  It
just bloats the revision history for docs.  Single-word fixes, even
scattered across multiple files, would be easier to look at as one
commit in the git log.
