[PATCH] fix sum moar typos

[Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>]

Because they cause global warming.

Signed-off-by: Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>

TL;DR: Various typo fixes. Applies to jrollins/release-candidate/0.6 (2baf08f5)

Due to the impending 0.6 release, I've gone off on an ephemeral typo hunt,
and have brought back some trophies.

As it's such an utterly amusing passtime, I've been pretty fat-fingered about it,
and wouldn't be surprised if I've missed some, or even made some new ones.

Nonetheless: Lets maek 0.6 purrfec!
