Fixing a few hundred clear typos with the help of Claude. Some are less important in code comments, but majority of them are in user-facing places. I manually approved 60%+ of the changes and didn't see any that were an incorrect suggestion, at worst it was potentially uncessesary, like a code comment having cant instead of can't. No RM.

 <h2>Zooming in or out with a link &mdash; HGVS </h2>
 <h6>How do I zoom out using a link to a HGVS identifier?</h6>
 <p>
 To link to a specific HGVS identifier, you can construct a link with the HGVS identifier
 in the position field instead of coordinates. The default padding is 5bp on either side,
 but you can always zoom in or out with <code>hgt.out1=submit</code> or <code>hgt.in1=submit</code>.
 The numbers 1 through 4 zoom in or out corresponding to the buttons above the track window.
 The following lists the zoom levels of each number, applicable to zooming in or out:</p>
 <ul>
 <li id="hgt.out1"><code>hgt.out1=submit</code> zooms out 1.5x</li>
 <li id="hgt.out2"><code>hgt.out2=submit</code> zooms out 3x</li>
 <li id="hgt.out3"><code>hgt.out3=submit</code> zooms out 10x</li>
 <li id="hgt.out4"><code>hgt.out4=submit</code> zooms out 100x</li>
 </ul>

 <h2>Setting Track Visibility via URL</h2>
 <h6>How do I create a custom URL to control the visibility of specific tracks?</h6>
 <p>
 You can control the visibility of tracks from the URL with the following parameters, 
 each linked by the "&amp;" sign:
 <ul>
   <li>
   <code>guidelines=on/off</code> - activate or deactivate the blue guidelines -
   <a href="../../cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg38&position=chr9%3A133255176-133275214&guidelines=off"

 You can also link directly to gene description pages from the URL. Instead of a position search,
 gene descriptions use the <code>hgg_gene=</code> URL parameter. The following URL connecting
 to 'hgGene' will open up the Genome Browser description page containing protein function,
 expression profile, and links to additional information for the gene TP53.

 <p><code><a href="../cgi-bin/hgGene?db=hg19&hgg_gene=TP53" target="_blank">http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGene?db=hg19&hgg_gene=TP53</a> </code></p>

 <h2>The <em>hgsid</em> parameter</h2>
 <h6>What is the hgsid parameter and should I include it in Genome Browser links?</h6>
 <p>The hgsid is a temporary user ID that stores setting and custom track information in the URL.
 Including it in any shared URLs is a privacy concern, and it should be removed when
 constructing any links to the Genome Browser. Most significantly, it will change after
-you share it. Anyone using it will see that last thing you did, not what you thought
