@dfuch I have only updated files in `src`, so if the incorrect spelling is tested, that test will now fail. I'm unfortunately not well versed in what tests cover serviceability code. Can you suggest a suitable set of tests to run?

And yes, ideally the tests should be spell checked as well. It's just that:
1) the product source is (imho) more important to begin with,
2) test comments are generally of a lower quality and more likely to contain more typos (imho), meaning even more work for me to publish a PR i believe is correct, and
3) the tests in the JDK are so intertwined and messy that I'm having a hard time understanding what groups to post reviews to. I could make one mega-PR touching the entire test code base, but I doubt it would be very popular. :-)
