Summary

In PR#22733@QuLogic caught a spelling error of mine (which is great!) but there will inevitably be typos that slip through if only humans are checking.https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell is a really nice way to check for typos and it has a nice pre-commit hook. As Matplotlibalready uses pre-commit 🚀 (thanks to@ianhi in PR#21583) this would be an easy add. 👍

Proposed fix

Add the following hook (maybe some variations) to.pre-commit-config.yaml
