Typo Fixing

I'm doing a Typo Fix with AWB. It involves creating a list in AWB of articles with potential typos and then manually checking before applying each change. Due to the number of edits it's likely I'll make a mistake or two. If I have, feel free to revert the edit. It would be nice if you let me know what the issue is also so I don't repeat the mistake. Many of the edits involve changing 'etc' to 'etc.' as recommended by Manual of Style (abbreviations), although I do them with caution as many times it tends to break a sentence. If that is the issue consider rewording the sentence.
