Fix typos and pseudo-typos 1
I am fixing a lot of nits in content. The goal is to make our custom dictionaries as small as possible by eliminating things that could be better recognized as words. This not only helps with automation but helps with human readers too, especially those who may be slow to recognize words.
- About half of them are code not properly capitalized.
- There are some real typos.
- Occasionally I have to refactor the wording a bit.
- Where we are demonstrating real typos, I use inline
cSpell:ignoreto prevent it being ignored in other files.

@chrisdavidmills It would be great if the example repos can be updated too. I don't know if I have time to do that, though. Usually in this sort of batch content update, example repos often lag behind, and that wouldn't be a reason to hold back content updates, because we have well-established linting infrastructure for content but not for example repos (we totally should).
What is the value of fixing the pseudo typos? firefoxlogo400.png vs firefox-logo400.png seems a pointless fix. If you're a reader you won't care, and as an author I will find it more annoying because selection via double click selects less of the filename.
Ditto things like "game-over" vs "gameover" - I might use game_over, or gameOver for a state name, but I would never use game-over as it might be tokenised to a minus sign.
All the actual typo fixes look great though.

As a reader, a well-separated name is slightly easier to scan. If ease of selection is a showstopper for you, I'm happy to change it to an underscore. From a maintenance perspective, using valid words eliminates the chance of false-negative spell checking elsewhere since we don't have to exempt "firefoxlogo".

game-overas it might be tokenised to a minus sign.
Here it's not a code entity though. I could be wrong but I searched everywhere and there's no reference to gameover in code, so I assume it's meant to be plain-English description of the code state, in which case we would either say "game-over" or "game over", and I chose the former because it looks slightly more correct when modifying a noun.
