Bug description:
There are lots of small spelling mistakes throughout the code : datas=data, childs=children, logistic=logistics etc.
I think these deserve to be fixed one day.

The point of correct English in the code is:
- well-written code is a documentation in itself
- you can't search for misspelled words in IDEs
- bad English is a clue to find code that was never reviewed nor refactored
- respect for your fellow developers worldwide

It's not risky because:
- renaming variables and functions is easily and quickly done (ecplise even has a wizard for it)
- bzr lets you review what you merge
- yml tests will catch the problems
