Subject: spelling errors in todo-mode.el

The documentation for todo-insert-threshold says:

- --------------------------------------------------
todo-insert-threshold is a variable defined in `todo-mode.el'.
Its value is 0


Documentation:
*TODO mode insertion accuracy.

If you have 8 items in your TODO list, then you may get asked 4
questions by the binary insertion algorithm.  However, you may not
really have a need for such accurate priorities amongst your TODO
items.  If you now think about the binary insertion halfing the size
of the window each time, then the threshhold is the window size at
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^  
which it will stop.  If you set the threshhold to zero, the upper and
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^  
lower bound will coincide at the end of the loop and you will insert
your item just before that point.  If you set the threshhold to,
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^
e.g. 8, it will stop as soon as the window size drops below that
amount and will insert the item in the approximate center of that
window.
- --------------------------------------------------

threshhold should be threshold - in the text rather than the variable name.

The same text with the same errors occurs earlier in the commentary
