[PATCH] Massive speeling correcton.

[Evan Farrar]

Sorry for all the traffic on this list today,

I went through trunk and found a large number of misspellings by using
a script. Only about half of the files I changed exist on ruby 1_8_7,
so I have attached a smaller diff for 1_8_7.

CAVEAT: I edited all comments without discrimination, not specifically
comments that are parsed by RDoc. If this is a problem I would be
perfectly willing to eliminate everything but the documentation
changes from my diff.

I would like to thank Evan Weaver for the (updated) raspell library!
Good Night

Thank you for the patch.  I applied both patches.

I have a similar project where I have to check spelling on a bunch of source
code files before we launch; is there any chance I could get a copy of you
spellcheck app?

Thanks in advance,

Of course you can! It's quite ugly though, I basically just compiled
the list of misspelled words, and then scanned through, grepping for
any words that piqued my interest. There will be a lot of false
positives. With a codebase this large I was only trying to cast a wide
net, not a fine-toothed comb.

You could probably come up with something prettier after glancing at
the raspell docs:

Cheers!
