 All of those suggested changes look reasonable to me (I assume the update
 to the Latin is correct, I have no idea...) except for this one...
 
   | -This Fortue Examined By INSPECTOR NO. 2-14
   | +This Fortune is Examined By INSPECTOR NO. 2-14
 
 The addition of "is" is wrong, if you really wanted to make "Examined"
 into an adjective, rather than being the verb, "was" would be better than
 "is", but there really is no need.
 
 For the other change - no - leave the typo in the spelling of Fortune.
 That's what makes it funny (ie: this one is a deliberate mistake, unlike
 the others you detected.)
