This PR fixes a few trivial grammar issues and typos in documentation.
The main issue is the use of the word "timeout". To my mind, timeout, a duration, is not the same as deadline, which is a point in time, an instant, which allows "before" and "after". While one can think of timeout as of an event, which can occur, it usually expires, or elapses. An activity can also "time out" (phrasal verb).
I think the proposed change might read better and match wording already used throughout `java.util.concurrent.**`, for example, here:

* https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/fbe4cc96e223882a18c7ff666fe6f68b3fa2cfe4/src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/concurrent/locks/AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java#L1019-L1036
@DougLea, thoughts?
