>Description:
Noticed the following typos in Chapter 3 of Handbook.  URL references 
are to web pages on which the typos are found in the on-line 
version.

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/basics.html
"These manuals can be view with the man command."
should be "These manuals can be viewed with the man
command."  I.e. "view" should be "viewed".

Same page, i.e. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/basics.html
"So, you are looking at all those fancy commands in /usr/bin 
but do not even have the faintest idea what most of them 
actually do?"  I think "even have" should be "have even", 
so it reads "So, you are looking at all those fancy commands 
in /usr/bin but do not have even the faintest idea what most 
of them actually do?"  I am not comfortable breaking up the 
phrase "do not have" by putting a modifier in the middle of it, 
particularly since the modifier "even" actually seems to 
modify the next phrase("the slightest idea"), rather than 
the phrase it now appears in.  The author's intent may be 
different than my interpretation, though, so there is room 
for argument here.
