   There is one misspelled word in the description of auto-fill-mode.

       With arg, turn auto-fill mode on iff arg is positive.

"iff" is an abbreviation for "if and only if".  Of course, you had no way
to know that, since it's not written "iff.".

"iff" is mostly used by mathematicians to denote logical equivalence.
