Bug Description

man mount contains the following section:

Note that mount is very strict about non-root users and all paths specified on command line are verified before fstab is
       parsed or a helper program is executed. It's strogly recommended to use a valid mountpoint to specify filesystem, other‐
       wise mount may fail. For example it's bad idea to use NFS or CIFS source on command line.

The word 'strogly' should be 'strongly'

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that `man mount` from mount 2.30.1-0ubuntu3 on Ubuntu Artful still contains the typo.

Looks like the upstream fix was included in the newer version of mount which is available in Ubuntu 18.04. The typo is now gone from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/mount.8.html
