These typos detected by codespell are scattered over many PEPs. Should I really open a different PR for each PEP?

Typical optimizations for virtual machines are expensive, so a long "warm up" time is required
to gain confidence that the cost of optimization is justified.

"warmup" seems fine

True, but codespell prefers warm-up and so do Merriam-Webster and The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.

I'd prefer to leave the original author's wording unless it's clearly wrong. English spelling has some variation.

Similarly, you changed "reenable" to "re-enable" at some point. That can also stay as "reenable".

OK, I'll keep it as it was.

As for re-enable, it's probably my wrong. I seem to recall it is a citation of a mail and shouldn't be changed. I'll look into it and fix it.

That said, PEP 0659 itself is inconsistent:

"warm up" time
warmup times

Honestly I don’t like such “omnibus” PRs. There’s often something that eluded review.

And I don’t mind having the occasional typo, unless it makes the text hard to follow. The time to use a spell checker is when first writing the text.

I understand, besides that's why I asked if such a PR acceptable.

However, after fixing these typos, I could add a codespell GitHub action that could catch typos early on. I cannot add it as long as codespell reports too many errors.
