That one was quite intentional for ironic effect.  I could have added an
extra "e" for exaggerated effect if you like.  :-)

As for filedescriptor, that one I chose to leave alone due to 7 other
instances (out of ~700), while handlink stood alone (out of 126 hardlink
without and 77 with space) and was clearly misspelled in the context of
the source file.

I can file a followup patch to fix all "filedescriptor" in the same
patch if desired, but I'm not so sure that one is warranted.
