    The operator can thus examine and modify the computer's registers, memory, and input/output devices, diagnosing and perhaps correcting failures in software and peripherals (unless a failure disables the microcode itself). The operator can also specify which disk to boot from. Both innovations increased the reliability and decreased the cost of ...

    Whether it's called shaduf, shadoof, or any other variant, there should be complete consistency throughout the article. It should pick one name as a preferred version, mention the others, and then stick to the preferred name throughout. Currently, we have the article name "Shadoof" immediately followed by "A shaduf.... is an irrigation tool".
