Re: [PATCH v2] manual: fix spelling typos


signalled and signalling are correct.  In similar cases where standard US
spelling accepts either the one-consonant or the two-consonant forms, I
always prefer the two-consonant form (which doesn't violate the
prior-vowel-lengthening rule of vowels that follow single consonants).  I
do think that we should be consistent throughout the manual in the spelling
of each word for which multiple spellings are acceptable US English.
