The typos outside of the organization application form was all me.

I just did a check on what seemed to be the most standard version on google and wikipedia and went with that. For some reason I didn't check it for microkernel, so I'll be reverting this. Answering y/n can get mind numbing after a while...

Yes, misspelling is a misnomer here, but I do think that AE should be standard spelling on the website since it is de facto standard for CS documentation in general. Though I don't feel very strongly about it. Regards, Fredrik
