Seconded, even the files in Documentation/ (while mostly English text)
mix code and other technical/non-English details which throw up false
positives.
I reviewed the changes to the Documentation/ files and found the
following false positives
Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl

+ * Sun people can't spell worth damn. "compatibility" indeed.
- .asciz "compatability"
+ .asciz "compatibility"
These misspellings are deliberate, and are in context to the file.

<slot #1, id = 0x01, characters = "My Big File.E">
"xtension.whic" is correct, it is part of the string "My Big
File.Extension which is long" which has been split, the missing 'h' is
on the previous line.

Thought seeked is bad English it is correct in this context where
you've done a seek operation.
The following are a couple of correctly found mistakes, but where
there's problems with the fix.
