I did some grepping for words that are often misspelled, and the below
patch is the result of that. The patch fixes a large number of spelling
errors (64 in total.) The changes that have been made (in many places)
are these:

adress --> address
adressed --> addressed
adressing --> addressing
adresses --> addresses
subadress --> subaddress
aquire --> acquire
garantee --> guarantee
existant --> existent
existance --> existence
frist --> first
desiderable --> desirable

The patch is against 2.4.1-ac4.
