Fix typos, logic errors and language
Why:
Typos and unclear language make docs hard to read, logic errors (e.g. commands to "enable" a service, under the "disable" service heading) mean that unexpected system behavior may result.
Happy to open an issue or to remove/separate out elements of this PR if a reviewer feels this is necessary.
What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
PR contains 3 commits, each addressing one issue:
- A typo fix commit identifies several typos in the docs, and changes them
- A logic error commit identifies a logic error (in this case, a command to "enable" system behavior was presented under a heading for "how to disable" said behavior) and adds the correct "disable" command.
- A revision for clarity commit changes the word "delink" to "unlink" in docs which refer to commit linking with users. Delink appears only once in this repo (before the changes I propose to make), while "unlink" appears many more times, including in other docs about linking commits to users - so it would be arguably more consistent with the rest of the docs to make this change.

@sau226 Thanks for opening a PR! You've caught a lot of great typos, but some of them I will have to check in about to make sure they aren't language we're using very specifically for one reason or another, even though I can see you've done your research and I really appreciate it. And I have one minor correction: "reusable," without the "e," is the correct spelling. 😆 I had to look it up to make sure I hadn't gone crazy, since the rest of your changes are pretty much spot on.
I'll get this triaged for review and let you know when I've heard back about a couple of these. Again, thank you for the really adept typo wrangling! It's very much appreciated. 💛
