I can do that, no problem. That's my preference too.

Context is important, I agree.

That makes total sense. I'll hold off on typos in comments. Actually,
the only reason I included them was because they showed up when I did
a 'git grep <misspelled word>', so I went ahead and fixed everything.
How do I know when the dust has settled? Is that after you release a
version? 1.7.11 released on June 17, so that wasn't that long ago?

Are we early in the dev cycle? Should I prepare a separate patch with
just the misspellings that affect end user experience?
