Just a few minor English typo fixes, in these patches:

https://codeberg.org/vimuser/librewolf-openbsd-port/commit/50f4d9eb499b8f78750066f2718a2205b8849a09

https://codeberg.org/vimuser/librewolf-openbsd-port/commit/03027d9041c7289799d6f2e8860c06bf7cc70737

new submit branch:

https://codeberg.org/vimuser/librewolf-openbsd-port/src/branch/submit7

and I have attached the new tarball, based on submit7. This is the same 
as in the previous email, except that it incorporates the above changes. 
No functional/code changes have been made, only slight tweaks to some 
comments / English text.
