So, you want to fix typos?

[Dan Kegel]

I see somebody's posting a few fix-typo-in-comments patches, e.g.
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048099.html
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-December/048101.html

That reminds me that I worked out some time ago how
to find such typos efficiently.  At the risk of encouraging lots
of silly typo-fixing patches, I've documented the process here:
http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/

For instance, to find typos in comments in shell32, you can do:

sudo apt-get install ispell

wget http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/stop.txt
wget http://kegel.com/wine/spellingpolice/lspell-pl.txt -O lspell.pl
perl lspell.pl stop.txt ~/wine-git/dlls/shell32/*.[ch]

This outputs:
