I'd rather not to see any change that turns one accepted form into another accepted form at all (like "parseable" vs "parsable" in this patch). For that purpose, asking "What is parseable" to Google and seeing if there is a hit is good enough ;-) I'd of course welcome genuine typofixes, like s/filesytem/filesystem/.
