tweaks: replace the obscure @* with the slightly clearer @sp

What @* does is guesswork when you don't use Texinfo regularly.
That the "sp" in the @sp command refers to vertical space is not
very clear either, but the command is used on nearby lines too,
so better use it more.

Also, improve two wordings and fix a four-year old typo.
