multiple "insure" vs. "ensure" typos
Issue #405
resolved
The documentation as well as many tickets and wiki pages incorrectly use the word "insure" when in fact "ensure" is intended. I'm pretty sure none of these and these search results are really about insurance matters.
It's no big deal of course (and I know American English not necessarily makes a difference between ensure/insure), but for us non-native English readers who associate English words by spelling rather than by pronunciation it's a bit confusing and slows down reading.

well the dictionary says "insure" is not entirely incorrect when used similarly to "ensure" (i.e. it can apply to non insurance financial-type scenarios, in US and UK english), but its still less appropriate and more ambiguous than "ensure". this change is in changeset:2175
