Spelling fixes
* doc/misc/calc.texi (Predefined Units): Use the bland modern scientific style for spelling the units “ampere” and “angstrom” rather than the older style “Ampere” and “Ångstrom”. The latter spelling was wrong anyway (it should have been “Ångström”). * lisp/emacs-lisp/ert.el (ert--explain-equal-rec): Fix misspelling of ‘atom’ in code.
