As far as that goes, Corey's nearby proposal to add a glossary
could be a great help. We could define such terms there, and
make the tutorial's uses of them be hyperlinks. So maybe we
should get that done first, and then come back to this?

FWIW, I think we've used the first spelling in most places.
Which is more "correct", I don't know, but I'm pretty sure
that spelling Unix in all-caps has been out of fashion for
a very long time.
