Hi, while we appreciate you pointing out typos, we do not tolerate name calling. Especially when it comes to hundreds of pages of content provided free of charge.
If you would like to be helpful, refrain from name-calling and give an indication in which each project can be found.

týpo = stroke; dýstýpo = misstroke. It doesn't matter if the content is free or not; the frequent consistent misspellings of the same word are that annoying; that you don't accept impressions (not "name calling", as "greenbreakfast" is a name) of how a reader finds the content rather than whether the comment is dishonest or wrong tells you don't care how bad the content is.

Most of these mistakes are in the same book, mentioned near the top. The layout looks fine in HTML but not PDF. Most of the mistakes can be gotten with Find; others are widespread. Nonetheless they're listed in order.

it's -> its, retard .

this is what greenbreakfast is talking about. your grammatical improvements are appreciated. but calling people retard is much more annoying than bad English.

also, since its such an annoyance for you, Github does give you the option to fork the projects, apply the changes you would like to see and send a pull request. you don't need to highlight what is wrong here; you have the power to fix it yourself. (this is what open source collaboration is all about.)

Dictional improvements you mean, besides compositional. Insults may be annoying to the guilty but so are good rules. You broke one oppositely: its -> it's.

GitHub can't correct the PDF which nobody proofreads, and I can't edit PDFs, especially readonlies. It'd be easier if all of the docs were concatenated like the PDF along with the latter's page numbers.

ethernet-expansion.html: unlpug -> unplug

Like I said, we welcome and encourage suggestions, improvements, typo fixes, but this is not a place for insults and it will not be tolerated.

The PDF is made from this repo, all of the source text for the projects can be found here: https://github.com/OnionIoT/Onion-Docs/tree/master/Omega2/Projects
