I guess I'm cc'd because I made a few of those or/nor mistakes. Being a non-native English speaker I'm not really qualified to review this. But I suggest that you merge "Fix misuses of "nor" outside comments" and "Tests: Fix muses of "nor"" into one. Otherwise you break the test suite at 5/6 (and 6/6 fixes it, but breaking the test suite at any commit is not very bisect-friendly).
