On Line 707 of the builtin TUTORIAL, it says

> If the computer crashes, you can recover your auto-saved editing by
> finding the file normally (the file you were editing, not the auto
> save file) and then typing M-x recover-this-file <Return>.  When it

Here `asks fo confirmation' should be `asks for conformation'.

No, "confirmation" is correct there.  The program asks the user to
confirm that the user indeed wants to recover the session.

Thanks.

The correction contained a typo, but the OP was correct that TUTORIAL
also has a typo:

 If the computer crashes, you can recover your auto-saved editing by
 finding the file normally (the file you were editing, not the auto
 save file) and then typing M-x recover-this-file <Return>.  When it

I went ahead and pushed the fix to emacs-26.

I'm guessing that the typo he meant to signal was "fo",
which should be "for", not also a change in "confirmation"
to "conformation".
