That was just a example (see that "e.g."), there are 206 of those.
You made me to go through those as well, all except one were false
positives (e.g. '"$@" -Wc,+Maked'), so I squashed this in:

"publically" looks/sounds very weird to me, but I can't say for sure
whether it's "just plain wrong" or if the rules are just old.  But
there were worse ones than that.

I've left out "ok" (which should be OK, but it looks like nobody cares
and there were *so many* false positives in the code), and there's
"(in)dependant" where it suggests s/dant/dent/ and I couldn't find
anywhere that the version with 'a' is wrong, but I see a lot of
consistent usage of that and even my spell-checker doesn't mark it as
wrong.

I'll leave out the public+ally if someone strongly disagrees.

Thanks for the review.  I was thinking some more native speaker will
have a look as well, so I'll wait for a while if there are any
oppositions to this.
