  - reuqests -> requests
  - discernable -> discernible
  - cancelations -> cancellations

As I've replied on this list before, cancelation is a perfectly
cromulent spelling. For the rest, not sure it's worth it. And:

mechanical changes like this that don't even look at the sentence
(there's more to correct here...) are certainly less worthwhile than
making it more coherent in general.
