[PATCH] Fix a bunch of minor spelling mistakes

#4796

Hey! I've spent a few hours and tried to weed out last minor spelling
mistakes from the Rails code base.

Also removed some gratuitous unicode usage in comments.

    As I said in the commit comments, imo the unicode characters should not be removed. Their definitely not gratuitous, but exactly what they’re meant for. Is there a technical problem? For instance, the API docs are all generated with --charset utf-8, so that shouldn't be any problem at all.

    However, I can imagine that apostrophes might be ‘normalized’ to the basic ASCII version, as it probably only looks nice if it’s being used consistent.

    Addendum: This is all more of a philosophical comment. Whatever is decided upon is fine by me, I personally just prefer the looks of docs with proper (unicode) punctuation and dislike getting rid of unicode chars for the sake of getting rid of them :)

    My only concern was that the files didn't have Ruby Unicode headers while still having Unicode characters in them. I decided it was easier to replace them instead of adding proper headers.

    Gotcha. Which makes me wonder, would it be a good/bad idea to add the magic utf8 encoding comments to all source files?
