This bug is dedicated to misspellings in the NSPR product. Please only add new misspellings here, if they are not present in other products (see bug 577266 for general misspellings).
Michael: thank you very much for your interest in improving NSPR. Correcting misspellings that that most people have no trouble understanding (such as receive vs. recieve and existence vs. existance) adds noise to source code diffs, which can hurt a programmer's ability to spot the important changes. This is why I marked this bug WONTFIX. However, it is fine to correct misspellings when you fix a bug or if the misspellings may cause misunderstanding.
