[issue18705] Fix arround 100 typos/spelling mistakes

New submission from Févry Thibault:

In issue 18466 I had said I was planning to write a tool that checks python source code to see if they are spelling mistakes in comments/strings. As it was said there, the big issue was the fact that python has so many non-english words and that docstrings often had variable names in them, so I had to work arround the issue and add a personal word list.

I only applied the tool to Lib/*.py yet, as it takes some time to check false-positives and I didn't want to end with patches too big to be reviewed.

Note that I am not a very good python programmer so the attached script may look ugly to you, but it works.

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

Thanks for the patch.

I don't think there's a strict policy about using American spellings in the source; I think spellings like 'behaviour' and 'grey' should be left alone.

I didn't really know whether to change them or not and did not find an answer in the devguide (Might be worth documenting it ?) so I decided to change it :/.

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

Both AE and BE are OK, as long as each document is internally consistent. For new documents I think AE is preferred, but not forced.
