(info "(emacs) Mode Line")

The third-to-last paragraph, has `through' instead of `though'.

(info "(emacs) Repeating")

Maybe it's my limited imagination, but

To repeat the command more than once, type additional `z''s: each

          ^^^^^^
... has never looked right.  `z's' maybe?

(info "(emacs) Minibuffer Edit")

`accomodate' should be `accommodate'.

Thanks, I've fixed these (and several more instances of "accomodate")
on the emacs-23 branch, and a few additional ones on the trunk.

Ugly, perhaps, but that's not a typo, isn't it?

Maybe not.  Maybe I didn't mean to type `z's', but rather, `z's, yes, my
guess, Juanma, is that /a/ single-quoted z is rendered thusly:  `z', and
that more than one single-quoted z, `z's.  (The closing single quote looks
like it wants to indicate contraction, say, ``The single-quoted z is getting
the best of me,'' but it isn't---not with that opening single quote.)

[I see that you've closed this bug.]

Thanks for making the corrections.

Sort of.  It comes from the use of @samp{z}'s or similar in Texinfo.
The important part is that this looks right in the printed version of
the manual; the emulation we do in Info is less important.  So if the
Texinfo source uses @code{s} or @kbd{s} or anything but @samp, leave
the apostrophe alone; if it uses @samp, remove the apostrophe.  That's
because @samp produces single quotes in the printed copy as well,
while the others don't.

In that particular case, it is @kbd{z}:

  To repeat the command more than once, type additional @kbd{z}'s: each

So we should leave the apostrophe alone and live with a bit of
ugliness in the Info manual.

And so I did. The bug is already closed.
