On Line 707 of the builtin TUTORIAL, it says

Here `asks fo confirmation' should be `asks for conformation'.

No, "confirmation" is correct there.  The program asks the user to
confirm that the user indeed wants to recover the session.

Thanks.

The correction contained a typo, but the OP was correct that TUTORIAL
also has a typo:

I went ahead and pushed the fix to emacs-26.

I'm guessing that the typo he meant to signal was "fo",
which should be "for", not also a change in "confirmation"
to "conformation".
