Thanks a lot. It seems now I have some work to do in codespell so
these do not appear anymore.

The funniest typo I found was one I fixed before sending the patch
(thanks to Phillip Lougher [http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/2/577]):

Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl:
    /*
    * Sun people can’t spell worth damn. “compatability” indeed.
    * At least we *know* we can’t spell, and use a spell-checker.
    */


In final patch there were 31 misspellings for "compatibility" in kernel tree :-)
