If you think the word is wrong please find the origin in the doc tree and submit a review or commit it. Ceri is right on this one. Not many hits via `git grep` for the misspelling: .vale/styles/Vocab/Terms/accept.txt:descendents documentation/content/en/books/design-44bsd/_index.adoc:Mechanisms are provided by the kernel to allow a process to alter its process group or the process group of its descendents. documentation/content/en/books/design-44bsd/_index.po:"process to alter its process group or the process group of its descendents.
