    Looking for a list of commonly MISSPELLED words

    Hi guys,

    I'm creating spell checker and I what to implement a suggestion list. I think the best way to do this is to implement a list of misspelled words. This seems the most logical way to implement this feature as any algorithm I have came up with is not great. The other observation I have found is people seem to misspell the same words the same way. Sure there are variations but on a whole there is an identifiable pattern.

    Hey,

    I am not sure if this is relevant or not, but how about having a look at the AutoCorrect List in Microsoft Word? You can get to this through Tools | AutoCorrect Options... This always picks up for instance when I type "teh" and I meant to type "the".

    Just a thought.
