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.

 "There are two basic views of the data: by objects and by variables.  The default view "
 "is by object.  Each object will print out in an RA style stanza (by default) or as "
 "a single line of output containing all var=val pairs. In 'byVar' view, each RA style "
 "stanza holds a var val pair and all objects belonging to that pair on separate lines.  "
 "Linear 'byVar' view puts the entire var=val pair on one line.  Alternatively, request "
 "only counting of objects, variables or values.\n"
 "HINT: Use '%%' in any obj, var or val as a wildcard for selection.\n\n"
