Minor typo corrections and documenation improvements.


Docs/manual.texi:
  Expanded and corrected information on case-insensitive string comparison. 
  
  Fixed spelling mistake and lanuage usage in query cache information.
  
  Expanded query cache information by noting that the query cache is flushed 
  when table data changes.

From version 4.0.1, @code{MySQL server} features a @code{Query Cache}.
When in use, the query cache stores the text of a @code{SELECT} query
together with the corresponding result that is sent to a client.
If another identical query is received, the server can then retrieve
together with the corresponding result that was sent to the client.
If an identical query is later received, the server will retrieve
the results from the query cache rather than parsing and executing the
same query again.
@strong{NOTE:} The query cache does not return stale data. When data
is modified, any relevant entries in the query cache are flushed.
The query cache is extremely useful in an environment where (some)
tables don't change very often and you have a lot of identical queries.
This is a typical situation for many web servers that use a lot of
dynamic content.
Following are some performance data for the query cache
