In the glossary under core 

"If would like to determine"
perhaps it should be "If you would like to determine"

under inode
What the heck does the i stand for?
Information? Index? Item? Identification? Internal?
(Beuller? Beuller? Anyone?)

(Have to look this up)

man page
"The man pages are the authoritative about your UNIX system."
Authoritative what? Documentation?
(I'm not sounding cranky here. I just think it looks like a glitch.)

pipes and sockets
"the /dev/directory."
could be "the /dev/ directory."

symbolic link or soft link
"A special file type, which is a small pointer, file ..."
looks awkward, could be
"A special file type, which is a small pointer file, ..."
