...
- Spelling errors
- Typographical fixes

- Use Jr. more consistently
- Capitalization of dictionary-like entries
- Sorting using tools/do_sort

This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and

[patch] fortune(6): George Bernard Shaw quote fix

From the original PR:
s/milestones/millstones/

s/man/Man/
Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
source yet, so I can't say for sure.
