For the sake of consistency (and proper spelling), there is a centralized list of common phrases and how they should be spelt in KDE manuals. This covers cases such as "file system" vs. "filesystem" or "Spell-check" vs. "Spellcheck". It's a matter of professional appearance, and you should really try to make your spelling consistent with that of the other KDE documents.
