aa215de97a Initial content fix. This patch addresses the following:
- &os;

- rewording "you" with some tightening and clarifying

- fix xref, acronym, and directory tags

- changed 14.3-14.5 from sect2 to sect3--this may benefit from a beginning section 2 (e.g. Type of Accounts) to take it out of the intro
