So, with the following caveats, I'm perfectly happy to have 
misspellings in the code and comments corrected:

* Please don't break an API by correcting a misspelling in a function 
name. (Correct it and insert a symbol table alias for the old name

* Scrip is intentional ;)

* Requestor isn't quite as common a spelling as requester, but it's 
widely enough used both inside RT and out that I don't want to change 
it.

* If you want to submit a patch to remove "colorful" phrasing from 
comments, the new phrasing should capture the intent and feel of the 
previous phrasing ;)

Thanks,

Jesse
