Major - P3 The s_string utility checks for spelling errors in our source files, and is generally quite useful. Currently it doesn't check cxx files for spelling mistakes.
A suggested change to fix this is:
diff --git a/dist/s_string b/dist/s_string
index 735490daf..2b55d86b7 100755
--- a/dist/s_string
+++ b/dist/s_string

+ find src -name '*.in' && find bench test -name '*.cxx')`
There are two pieces of work here:
1. Fix the script to it checks .cxx extension files.
2. Fix the incorrectly spelled words
