I thought this was the french spelling.

Joking aside, the corrections look right, but I also had no trouble
understanding what those sentences mean. Typos happen, plus we have a
lot of non-native speakers who won't use perfect spelling or grammar.

So for me, the bar is "this can be easily understood", not "needs to
be perfect English", and I'd say let's skip patches like these unless
they fix something truly unintelligble.
