There’s a remaining copy/grammar typo in markdown/posts/My-Sleep-Stack.md and a confirmed reverse-tabnabbing risk in public/resume/index.html due to target="_blank" links missing rel="noopener"/"noreferrer".

Pull request overview

This PR cleans up copy across the site (posts, meet reports, project pages, and metadata) by fixing a large set of unambiguous typos and aligning wording with the reviewed copy decisions, plus adds a short document recording items intentionally left unchanged.

Changes:

  • Fixes spelling/grammar issues across many markdown posts and meet reports.
  • Updates a few project-page strings/metadata and small UI copy (including PWA manifest name).
  • Adds COPYWRITING-ISSUES.md to record reviewed phrases and outcomes.
